An unshapen thought presents itself to me, I look at it, and I do all in my power to give it body and expression, but I cannot.
"The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford"
Mark Rutherford
When Janet sat down shivering on the door-stone, with the door shut upon her past life, and the future black and unshapen before her as the night, the scenes of her childhood, her youth and her painful womanhood, rushed back upon her consciousness, and made one picture with her present desolation.
"Scenes of Clerical Life"
George Eliot
The men whose destiny she had tried to mould, who had ended by moulding hers, twisting it now into one shape, now into another, had done with it at last; they had flung it from them unshapen as before.
"Audrey Craven"
May Sinclair
