“Still must I hear? - shall hoarse Fitzgerald bawl / His creaking couplets in a tavern hall, / And I not sing?”
Lord Byron
“When I got hoarse, the manager would say, 'Drink this. Joplin used to drink this,' and I used to say, 'Joplin? Joplin's dead.”
Cyndi Lauper
“Four hoarse blasts of a ship's whistle still raise the hair on my neck and set my feet to tapping.”
John Steinbeck
“There is a bird who by his coat,And by the hoarseness of his note,Might be supposed a crow.”
William Cowper
“He was a very jovial fellow who would meet at the taverns, discussing the latest John Locke book or scientific breakthrough over a nice pint of beer. I don't think you could imagine getting drunk with George Washington, but with Benjamin Franklin? Definitely.”
Chris Mullins
“A tavern chair is the throne of human felicity.”
Samuel Johnson
“We're looking for anything associated with the [Cherokee] removal, whether it be roads, forts, cemeteries, taverns ... Part of our job is to get the word out. Maybe someone will come forward who knows more than we do about it.”
