Stroke Side

Famous quotes containing the words stroke and/or side:

    If thou and nature can so gently part,
    The stroke of death is as a lover’s pinch,
    Which hurts, and is desired.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The most interesting thing which I heard of, in this township of Hull, was an unfailing spring, whose locality was pointed out to me on the side of a distant hill, as I was panting along the shore, though I did not visit it. Perhaps, if I should go through Rome, it would be some spring on the Capitoline Hill I should remember the longest.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
