Ere

Famous quotes containing the word ere:

    With the noise of the mourning of the Swattish nation!
    Fallen is at length
    Its tower of strength;
    Its sun is dimmed ere it had nooned;
    Dead lies the great Ahkoond,
    The great Ahkoond of Swat
    Is not!
    George Thomas Lanigan (1845–1886)

    Yet ere I can say where—the chariot hath
    Passed over them—nor other trace I find
    But as of foam after the ocean’s wrath
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    I have full cause of weeping, but this heart
    Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws
    Or ere I’ll weep.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
