Rough

    Peter Singer (b. 1946)

    Not once or twice in our rough island story
    The path of duty was the way to glory.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “That rough tooth of the sea,” Kineo, great source of arrows and of spears to the ancients, when weapons of stone were used.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
