Foul

Famous quotes containing the word foul:

This ultimate infection,
Star of my eyes, my being’s inner flame,
My angel and my passion!”

“Times go by turns, and chances change by course,
From foul to fair, from better hap to worse.

The sea of Fortune doth not ever flow,
She draws her favours to the lowest ebb;
Her tides have equal times to come and go,
Her loom doth weave the fine and Coarsest web;”
—Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)

“Think of the moment you count
most foul in your life;
conjure it,
supplicate,
pray to it;
your face is bleak, you retract,
you dare not remember it.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
