Fury

Famous quotes containing the word fury:

“You would think the fury of aerial bombardment
Would rouse God to relent;”

“Its fury aims to shatter but our altars: it scorns only the gods and never the mortals.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

“I never drank of Aganippe well,
Nor ever did in shade of Tempe sit,
And muses scorn with vulgar brains to dwell;
Poor layman I, for sacred rites unfit.
Some do I hear of poets’ fury tell,
But, God wot, wot not what they mean by it;
And this I swear by blackest brook of hell,
I am no pickpurse of another’s wit.”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
