Hollow

Famous quotes containing the word hollow:

“Ye could not know where lies a thing so fair,
No stone is there to show, no tongue to say,
What was; no dirge, except the hollow sea’s,
Mourns o’er the beauty of the Cyclades.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“I often look upon a face
Most ugly, grisly, bare and thin;
I often view the hollow place,
Where eyes and nose had sometimes been;”

“The cloakroom pegs are empty now,
And locked the classroom door,
The hollow desks are dimmed with dust....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
