Hollow

Famous quotes containing the word hollow:

“It was the most wild and desolate region we had camped in, where, if anywhere, one might expect to meet with befitting inhabitants, but I heard only the squeak of a nighthawk flitting over. The moon in her first quarter, in the fore part of the night, setting over the bare rocky hills garnished with tall, charred, and hollow stumps or shells of trees, served to reveal the desolation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Even through the hollow eyes of death
I spy life peering.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

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