Phantoms

Famous quotes containing the word phantoms:

    In the towns I am tracked by phantoms having weird detective ways—
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    Feign then what’s by a decent tact believed
    And act that state is only so conceived,
    And build an edifice of form
    For house where phantoms may keep warm.

    Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep—
    He hath awakened from the dream of life—
    ‘Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
    With phantoms an unprofitable strife.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
