Famous quotes containing the word whirls:
“The infernal storm, eternal in its rage, sweeps and drives the spirits with its blast; it whirls them, lashing them with punishment. When they are swept back past their place of judgment then come the shrieks, laments, and anguished cries; there they blaspheme God’s almighty power.”
—Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)
“Silent is the house: all are laid asleep:
One alone looks out o’er the snow-wreaths deep,
Watching every cloud, dreading every breeze
That whirls the ‘wildering drift, and bends the groaning trees.”
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
“I am giddy; expectation whirls me round.
Th’ imaginary relish is so sweet
That it enchants my sense.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
