Piercing

Famous quotes containing the word piercing:

    O falling fire and piercing cry
    and panic, and a weak mailed fist
    clenched ignorant against the sky!
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    And as my wit doth best devise,
    Love’s dwelling is in ladies’ eyes,
    From whence do glance love’s piercing darts,
    That make such holes into our hearts;
    And all the world herein accord,
    Love is a great and mighty lord;
    George Peele (1559–1596)

    Old, aching God, grey with endless care,
    calmly piercing evil’s new disguises,
    glad of good surprises, wiser than despair
    Hail and Hosanna, old, aching God!
    Brian Wren (b. 1936)
