Quotations for shaken

The pen has shaken nations. [ Tupper ]

When he is forsaken, Withered and shaken.
What can an old man do but die? [ Hood ]

In the capacious urn of death, every name is shaken. [ Horace ]

Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove;
No! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error, and upon me proved;
I never writ, nor no man ever loved. [ William Shakespeare ]

The glittering tresses which, now shaken loose, Showered gold. [ Owen Meredith ]
