Hollow

Famous quotes containing the word hollow:

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

    As well have a talon as a finger, a muzzle as a mouth,
    as well have a hollow as a heart.
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    Within the hollow crown
    That rounds the mortal temples of a king
    Keeps Death his court, and there the antic sits,
    Scoffing his state and mocking at his pomp,
    Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
    To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
