Famous quotes containing the word shook:
“Jove, nodding, shook the Heavens, and said,
‘Offending race of human kind,
By nature, reason, learning, blind;
You who through frailty stepped aside,
And you who never fell—through pride;”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

Under that woven changeless roof of boughs:
The singing shook him out of his new ease.”

And stared aghast to watch him eat;
They poured strychnine in his cup
And shook to see him drink it up:”
