When he is forsaken,
Withered and shaken,
What can an old man do but die?
--
Spring it is cheery; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).Thomas Hood
What Asriel's done has shaken everything up, Mr. Scoresby, shaken it more profoundly than it's ever been shaken before. These doorways and windows that I spoke of — they open in unexpected places now. It's hard to navigate, but this wind is a fair one.
Philip Pullman
And the lost heart stiffens and rejoices
In the lost lilac and the lost sea voices
And the weak spirit quickens to rebel
For the bent golden-rod and the lost sea smell
Quickens to recover
The cry of quail and the whirling plover
And the blind eye creates
The empty forms between the ivory gates
And smell renews the salt savour of the sandy earth
This is the time of tension between dying and birth
The place of solitude where three dreams cross
Between blue rocks
But when the voices shaken from the yew-tree drift away
Let the other yew be shaken and reply.Thomas Stearns (T. S.) Eliot
He was Himself forsaken that none of His children might ever need to utter His cry of loneliness.
John Heyl Vincent
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Graham Greene
When taken,
To be well shaken.George Colman
