Hallowe'en Time

Hallowe'en quotes, sayings and proverbs    



From ghoulies to ghosties 
and long-leggety beasties
And things that go bump in the night, 
Good Lord, deliver us!             
                         -Anonymous

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
                                     - Macbeth William Shakespeare

Eye of new, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boi and bubble.
               - Macbeth William Shakespeare

On Hallowe'en the thing
you must do
Is pretend that nothing
can frighten you
and you want to run
Jus' let on like
it's Hallowe'en fun.
                       - From an Early Nineteenth Century Halloween Postcard


       I know'd it, know'd it,
                                              Indeed I know'd it brother
                                              I know'd it - Weeee!
                                              Dem bones gonna rise again.
                                                              - Anonymous Early AMerican Ballad  


Just a little witch
on high
She'll tell you that
your love is nigh
Your fortune on Hallowe'en
when told
My secret will the witch unfold.
                                         - From an early 19th Century Hallowe'en Postcard

Come with me
All Hallow's night
We'll frighten everyone in sight
Such pranks for ince,
are justified
And fun and frolic amplified.
