Ten Syllable

Famous quotes containing the words ten and/or syllable:

    A play there is, my lord, some ten words long,
    Which is as brief as I have known a play,
    But by ten words, my lord, it is too long,
    Which makes it tedious.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It was a purely wild and primitive American sound, as much as the barking of a chickaree, and I could not understand a syllable of it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
