Faint

Famous quotes containing the word faint:

    The last faint spark
    In the self-murdered heart, the wounds of the sad uncomprehending
    dark,
    The wounds of the baited bear,—
    The blind and weeping bear whom the keepers beat
    On his helpless flesh . . . the tears of the hunted hare.
    Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)

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

    And so the needle pricked her fingers;
    She fidgeted but didn’t go;
    A faint forgetfulness of reasons
    Kept her with him. Time is slow.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
