Spectre Called

Famous quotes containing the words spectre and/or called:

    “But there is nothing which delights and terrifies our English Theatre so much as a Ghost, especially when he appears in a bloody Shirt.

    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    “If ever there was an aviary overstocked with jays it is that Yaptown-on-the-Hudson, called New York.”
    —O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
