Hollow

Famous quotes containing the word hollow:

“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)

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

“Do not put all your goods in hollow ships.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
