Famous quotes containing the word shook:

    “Jove, nodding, shook the Heavens, and said,

    You who through frailty stepped aside,
    And you who never fell—through pride;”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    “At night the passion came,
    Like the fierce fiend of a distempered dream,
    And shook him from his rest, and led him forth
    Into the darkness.—”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

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