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. A Spectre has very often saved a Play, though he has done nothing but stalked across the Stage, or rose through a Cleft of it, and sunk again without speaking one Word.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    Thank Heaven! the crisis —
    The danger, is past,
    And the lingering illness,
    Is over at last M,
    And the fever called “Living”
    Is conquered at last.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
