Hideous Strength

Famous quotes containing the words hideous and/or strength:

Oh how hideous it is
To see three generations of one house gathered together!
It is like an old tree with shoots,
And with some branches rotted and falling.”

“His strength is so tender, his wildness so meek,”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
