Famous quotes containing the words awful and/or substance:
“When awful darkness and silence reign
Over the great Gromboolian plain,
Through the long, long wintry nights;—”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
“True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air,
And more inconstant than the wind, who woos
Even now the frozen bosom of the north,
And being angered, puffs away from thence,
Turning his side to the dew-dropping south.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
