Famous quotes containing the word strikes:
“There was a sound of revelry by night,
And Belgium’s capital had gathered then
Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
The lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as a marriage-bell;
But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Kassandra shakes out her hair
Its gold clasped
With half-opened laurel-shoots
When the god strikes her
With his breath.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
