ASTONISHING
Surprising Startling
It takes away one’s breath
A man can but rub his eyes in amazement when he sees that——
I was never so astonished
It is incredible that——
The thing fell like a thunder-clap
This is passing strange
Without having any previous inkling of——
The most amazing thing about it all is——
I was quite overcome
I was struck dumb by——
It completely surpasses my comprehension
What you tell me is simply astounding
Doubly striking
I flamed amazement.
The Tempest, I., 2
It was like a bombshell in our midst
Challenging even the stupid to consideration
