Quotations for shrill

A melancholy sound is in the air,
A deep sigh in the distance, a shrill wail
Around my dwelling. 'Tis the Wind of night [ William Cullen Bryant ]

Hark to that shrill, sudden shout,
The cry of an applauding multitude,
Swayed by some loud-voiced orator who wields,
The living mass as if he were its soul! [ William Cullen Bryant ]

The cock, that is the trumpet to the morn, doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat wake the god of day. [ William Shakespeare ]
