Hollow

Famous quotes containing the word hollow:

“Parched body, hollow eyes, some uncouth thing
Made him appear, long since from earth exiled.”
—William Drummond, of Hawthornden (1585–1649)

“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;”
—Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)

“This Light inspires, and plays upon
The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
Such language as no mortal Ear
But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
