Famous quotes containing the words lightning and/or strike:

    “Swift as a shadow, short as any dream,
    Brief as the lightning in the collied night,
    That in a spleen unfolds both heaven and earth,
    And, ere a man hath power to say “Behold!”
    The jaws of darkness do devour it up.
    So quick bright things come to confusion.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “This Pardoner hadde heer as yelow as wex,
    But smothe it heeng as dooth a strike of flex.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
