Famished

Famous quotes containing the word famished:

“But famished field and blackened tree
Bear flowers in Eden never known.
Blossoms of grief and charity
Bloom in these darkened fields alone.”

“Injurious Time now, with a robber’s haste,
Crams his rich thievery up, he knows not how;
As many farewells as be stars in heaven,
With distinct breath and consigned kisses to them,
He fumbles up into a loose adieu,
And scants us with a single famished kiss,
Distasted with the salt of broken tears.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“I am famished in his service; you may tell every finger I have with my ribs.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
