Faint

Famous quotes containing the word faint:

    I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins,
    That almost freezes up the heat of life.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When we reflect on our past sentiments and affections, our thought is a faithful mirror, and copies its objects truly; but the colours which it employs are faint and dull, in comparison of those in which our original perceptions were clothed.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    The waves have now a redder glow—
    The hours are breathing faint and low—
    And when, amid no earthly moans,
    Down, down that town shall settle hence,
    Hell, rising from a thousand thrones,
    Shall do it reverence.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
