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)
“No sane man can be happy, for to him life is real, and he sees what a fearful thing it is.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“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)
