Hollow

Famous quotes containing the word hollow:

    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)

    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)

    The stage is about to be swept of corpses.
    You have no more chance than an infusorian
    Lodged in a hollow molar of an eohippus.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
