Spawn Appeared

Famous quotes containing the words spawn and/or appeared:

    Wherefore did Nature powre her bounties forth,
    With such a full and unwithdrawing hand,
    Covering the earth with odours, fruits, and flocks,
    Thronging the Seas with spawn innumerable,
    But all to please, and sate the curious taste?
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    The place became full of a watchful intentness now; for when other things sank brooding to sleep the heath appeared slowly to awake and listen. Every night its Titanic form seemed to await something; but it had waited thus, unmoved, during so many centuries, through the crises of so many things, that it could only be imagined to await one last crisis—the final overthrow.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
