Famished

Famous quotes containing the word famished:

    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)

    But famished field and blackened tree
    Bear flowers in Eden never known.
    Blossoms of grief and charity
    Bloom in these darkened fields alone.
    Edwin Muir (1887–1959)

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