Swallowed

Famous quotes containing the word swallowed:

    Through the din and desultoriness of noon, even in the most Oriental city, is seen the fresh and primitive and savage nature, in which Scythians and Ethiopians and Indians dwell. What is echo, what are light and shade, day and night, ocean and stars, earthquake and eclipse, there? The works of man are everywhere swallowed up in the immensity of nature. The AEgean Sea is but Lake Huron still to the Indian.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    That’s what the cat said to the canary when he swallowed him: “You’ll be all right.”
    Alvah Bessie, Ranald MacDougall, and Lester Cole. Raoul Walsh. Mr. Williams (Henry Hull)

    Earth hath swallowed all my hopes but she;
    She is the hopeful lady of my earth.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
