Usage examples for Unsmooth

The Amadis romances and, indeed, all the later examples of that great kind, such as Arthur of Little Britain, which Berners translated, were distinguished on the one side by a curious convention of unsmooth running of the course of love, on the other sometimes by a much greater licence of morality than their predecessors, and always by a prodigality of the "conjuror's supernatural"-witches and giants and magic black and white.
"The English Novel"
George Saintsbury
Nor hills nor mountains there Stand steep, nor strong cliffs Tower high, as here with us; nor dells nor dales, Nor mountain-caves, risings, nor hilly chains; Nor thereon rests aught unsmooth, But the noble field flourishes under the skies With delights blooming.
"Fifty-One Years of Victorian Life"
Margaret Elizabeth Leigh Child-Villiers, Countess of Jersey

Famous quotes with Unsmooth

  • I first saw President Reagan as a foot, highly polished brown cordovan wagging merrily on a hassock. I spied it through the door. It was a beautiful foot, sleek. Such casual elegance and clean lines! But not a big foot, not formidable, maybe a little ...frail. I imagined cradling it in my arms, protecting it from unsmooth roads.
    Peggy Noonan
