Famous quotes containing the word shedding:
“Thus Winter falls,
A heavy gloom oppressive oer the world
Through Nature shedding influence malign,
And rouses up the seeds of dark disease.
The soul of man dies in him, loathing life,
And black with more than melancholy views.”
—James Thomson (17001748)
“For it is wretchedness that endures, shedding its cancerous light on all it approaches:
Words spoken in the heat of passion, that might have been retracted in good time,
All good intentions, all that was arguable.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The sin of slavery is one of which it may be said that without the shedding of blood there is no remission.”
—James A. Garfield (18311881)
