"horror"  (p.566)

Note 8:  I have almost forgot the taste of fears.  The time has been my sense would have cooled / To hear a night-shriek, and my fell of hair / Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir / As life were in't.  I have supped full with horrors.  Direness, familiar to my slaughterhouse thoughts, Cannnot once start me.
