Horrid

Famous quotes containing the word horrid:

    Why do I yield to that suggestion
    Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair
    And make my seated heart knock at my ribs
    Against the use of nature?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Since I was man,
    Such sheets of fire, such bursts of horrid thunder,
    Such groans of roaring wind and rain, I never
    Remember to have heard. Man’s nature cannot carry
    Th’affliction nor the fear.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    With a whirl of thought oppressed
    I sink from reverie to rest.
    An horrid vision seized my head,
    I saw the graves give up their dead.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
