Fearful

Famous quotes containing the word fearful:

    the vagabond began
    To sketch a face that well might buy the soul of any man.
    Then, as he placed another lock upon the shapely head,
    With a fearful shriek, he leaped and fell across the
    picture—dead.
    Hugh Antoine D’Arcy (1843–1925)

    “To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh soon or late.
    And how can man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his gods,
    Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    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)
