Hideous

Famous quotes containing the word hideous:

“O hideous little bat, the size of snot,
With polyhedral eye and shabby clothes,”

Nothing but bones,
The sad effect of sadder grones;
Thy mouth was open, but thou couldst not sing.”

Oh how hideous it is
To see three generations of one house gathered together!
It is like an old tree with shoots,
And with some branches rotted and falling.”
