Breath

Famous quotes containing the word breath:

“O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn’s being,
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“You ever gentle gods, take my breath from me;
Let not my worser spirit tempt me again
To die before you please!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“If her breath were as terrible as her terminations, there were no living near her; she would infect to the north star.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
