Ugliness without tact is horrible. [ Hawthorne ]

And a million horrible bellowing echoes broke
From the red-ribbed hollow behind the wood.
And thundered up into heaven. [ Tennyson ]

Midnight hags.
By force of potent spells, of bloody characters,
And conjurations, horrible to hear,
Call fiends and spectres from the yawning deep,
And set the ministers of hell at work. [ Rowe ]

Hypocrisy is nothing, in fact, but a horrible hopefulness. [ Victor Hugo ]

A monster horrible, misshapen, huge, and bereft of his one eye. [ Virgil, of Polyphemus ]

Out of a horrible depth the height steps boldly forth; out of a hard shell virtue fights its way to the light; pain is the birth (medium) of the higher natures. [ Tiedge ]

When all moves equally (says Pascal), nothing seems to move, as in a vessel under sail; and when all run by common consent into vice, none appear to do so. He that stops first, views as from a fixed point the horrible extravagance that transports the rest. [ Colton ]
