Roll lemons on hard surface until soft. Cut lemons in half and squeeze out juice. Strain into a large pitcher. Add sugar and 1 cup water. Mix until lemon pulp is crushed. Add remaining water and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add sugar, if needed. Slice lemons and add for color. Add ice cubes and serve.
I've touch'd the highest point of all my greatness;
And from that full meridian of my glory
I haste now to my setting. I shall fall,
Like a bright exhalation in the evening
And no man see me more.
-- Shakespeare
