Rough

Famous quotes containing the word rough:

“But this rough magic
I here abjure, and when I have required
Some heavenly music—which even now I do—
To work mine end upon their senses that
This airy charm is for, I’ll break my staff,
Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
And deeper than did ever plummet sound
I’ll drown my book.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Exiled in us we arouse the soft,
Unclenched, armless, silk and rough love that breaks all rocks.”
