“Affection faints not like a pale-faced coward,But then woos best when most his choice is froward.”
“'Twas whispered in heaven, 'twas muttered in hell, / And echo caught faintly the sound as it fell; / On the confines of earth 'twas permitted to rest, / And the depths of the ocean its presence confessed.”
Catherine Maria Fanshawe
“Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.”

“I tended to faint when I saw accident victims in the emergency ward, during surgery, or while drawing blood. [On why he gave up medicine]”
Michael Crichton
“Uncouth tongues, horrible shriekings of despair, Shrill and faint voices, cries of pain and rage, And, with it all, smiting of hands, were there, Making a tumult, nothing could assuage, To swirl in the air that knows not day or night, Like sand withi”
Dante Alighieri
