Hideous

Famous quotes containing the word hideous:

    Only the gaunt fierce bird
    Flies, merciless with fear
    Lest air hold him not,
    Beats up the scaffold of space
    Sick of the world’s rot
    God’s hideous face.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Squalor spreads its hideous length
    through the carts and the asses’ feet,
    squalor coils and reopens
    and creeps under barrow
    and heap of refuse....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    So hideous was the noise, ah! benedicite!
    Certes, he Jacke Straw and his meinie
    Ne made never shoutes half so shrill
    When that they woulden any Fleming kill,
    As thilke day was made upon the fox.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
