Hollow Powers

Famous quotes containing the words hollow and/or powers:

    Ye could not know where lies a thing so fair,
    No stone is there to show, no tongue to say,
    What was; no dirge, except the hollow sea’s,
    Mourns o’er the beauty of the Cyclades.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
