Breath

Famous quotes containing the word breath:

“O for breath to utter what is like thee! you tailor’s yard,
you sheath, you bowcase, you vile standing tuck.”

“I am given up by traitors,
I talk wildly, I have lost my wits, I and nobody else am the greatest traitor,
I went myself first to the headland, my own hands carried me there.

You villain touch! what are you doing? my breath is tight in its throat,
Unclench your floodgates, you are too much for me.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“...his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.”
—Bible: Hebrew, 1 Kings 17:17.
