But though all the signs forebode that the doom of Gondor is drawing nigh, less now to me is that darkness than my own darkness.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The Return of the King
Andrea turned pale, and drew towards the door; he saw a cloud rising in the horizon, which appeared to forebode a coming storm.
Alexandre Dumas
The Count of Monte Cristo
It is true, and I own it now, that though I knew what good cause Don Fernando had to praise Luscinda, it gave me uneasiness to hear these praises from his mouth, and I began to fear, and with reason to feel distrust of him, for there was no moment when he was not ready to talk of Luscinda, and he would start the subject himself even though he dragged it in unseasonably, a circumstance that aroused in me a certain amount of jealousy; not that I feared any change in the constancy or faith of Luscinda; but still my fate led me to forebode what she assured me against.
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Don Quixote
