Twas Beauty that killed the beast!
--
Carl Denham, King Kong (1933)Edgar Wallace
» Edgar Wallace - all quotes »
I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I
Did, till we loved? were we not weaned till then?
But sucked on country pleasures, childishly?
Or snorted we in the seven sleepers' den?
'Twas so; but this all pleasures fancies be;
If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desir'd, and got, 'twas but a dream of thee.John Donne
'Twas but my tongue, 'twas not my soul that swore.
Euripides
The mountains from that fearful first
Named day were God's own house. Behold,
'Twas here dread Sinai's thunders burst
And showed His face. 'Twas here of old
His prophets dwelt. Lo, it was here
The Christ did come when death drew near.Joaquin Miller
Who killed John Keats?
"I," says the Quarterly,
So savage and Tartarly;
"'Twas one of my feats."Lord Byron
Ah, ah, thy beauty! like a beast it bites,
Stings like an adder, like an arrow smites.Algernon Charles Swinburne
