Tremble

Famous quotes containing the word tremble:

    “And what if all of animated nature
    Be but organic Harps diversely framed,
    That tremble into thought, as o’er them sweeps
    Plastic and vast, one intellectual breeze,
    At once the Soul of each, and God of all?”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “One day beside some flowers near his nose
    He will be thinking, When will I look at it?
    And pain, still in the middle distance, will reply,
    At what? and he will know it’s gone,
    O where! and begin to tremble and cry.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “Hesitate in August.
    Be shy.
    Let your toes tremble in their sandals.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
