Fearful

Famous quotes containing the word fearful:

    Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day.
    It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
    That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear;
    Nightly she sings on yond pomegranate tree.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    the vagabond began
    To sketch a face that well might buy the soul of any man.

    With a fearful shriek, he leaped and fell across the
    picture—dead.
    Hugh Antoine D’Arcy (1843–1925)

    As in hoary winter’s night stood shivering in the snow,

    Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
