They spake not a word;
  But like dumb statues or breathless stones,

  And overcome us like a summer's cloud
    Without our special wonder?
      - William Shakespeare, Macbeth
         (Macbeth at III, iv)

It will have blood, they say: blood will have blood.
  Stones have been known to move and trees to speak;
    Augures and understood relations have
      By maggot-pies and choughs and rooks brought forth
        The secret'st man of blood. What is the night?
      - William Shakespeare, Macbeth
         (Macbeth at III, iv)

She swore, i' faith, 'twas strange, 'twas passing strange;
  'Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful.

        Othello the Moor of Venice
         (Othello at I, iii)

At last fell humbly down upon his knees, and of his wonder made religion.

There's something in a flying horse,
  There's something in a huge balloon.
      - William Wordsworth, Peter Bell
         (prologue, st. 1)

Wonder is involuntary praise.
      - Edward Young

Nothing but what astonishes is true.
      - Edward Young, Night Thoughts (night IX)

We nothing know, but what is marvellous;
  Yet what is marvellous, we can't believe.
      - Edward Young, Night Thoughts (night VII)
