Famous quotes containing the word hollow:
“I had a thought for no ones 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 wed grown
As weary-hearted as that hollow moon.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“The cloakroom pegs are empty now,
And locked the classroom door,
The hollow desks are dimmed with dust....”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“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 (15641616)
