Running Plays

Famous quotes containing the words running and/or plays:

“Do but consider this small dust, here running in the glass,
By atoms moved.
Could you believe that this the body was
Of one that loved?
And in his mistress’ flame playing like a fly,
Turned to cinders by her eye?
Yes, and in death as life unblest,
To have’t expressed,
Even ashes of lovers find no rest.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

“He plays o’the viol-de-gamboys, and speaks three or four languages word for word without book, and hath all the good gifts of nature.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
