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)

    Darker grows the valley, more and more forgetting:
    So were it with me if forgetting could be willed.
    Tell the grassy hollow that holds the bubbling well-spring
    Tell it to forget the source that keeps it filled.
    George Meredith (1828–1909)

    I had a thought for no one’s but your ears:
    That you were beautiful, and that I strove
    To love you in the old high way of love;
    That it had all seemed happy, and yet we’d grown
    As weary-hearted as that hollow moon.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
