Adverb
quickliest
- (rare, literary, dated) superlative form of quickly: most quickly
- William Wordsworth, Despondency
- Yet, in the very centre of the crowd,
To keep the secret of a poignant scorn,
Howe'er to airy Demons suitable,
Of all unsocial courses, is least fit
For the gross spirit of mankind, — the one
That soonest fails to please, and quickliest turns
Into vexation.
- Yet, in the very centre of the crowd,
