Stretching Courses

Famous quotes containing the words stretching and/or courses:

    “O sleep, O gentle sleep,
    Nature’s soft nurse, how have I frighted thee,
    That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down
    And steep my senses in forgetfulness?
    Why rather, sleep, liest thou in smoky cribs,
    Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee,
    And hushed with buzzing night-flies to thy slumber,
    Than in the perfumed chambers of the great,
    Under the canopies of costly state,
    And lulled with sound of sweetest melody?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “All the courses of my life do show
    I am not in the roll of common men.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
