“The world wavered and quivered and threatened to burst into flames.”
--from MRS. DALLOWAY by Virginia Woolf
Denmark is a tiny country, with 5.6m people and wallet-draining labour costs. But it is an agricultural giant, home to 30m pigs and a quiverful of global brands. In 2011 farm products made up 20% of its goods exports. The value of food exports grew from €4 billion in 2001 to €16.1 billion in 2011. The government expects it to rise by a further €6.7 billion by 2020 http://econ.st/1et7VLT

Beyond the orchids one could see the dusty, curved trunk of a palm tree, and then the blazing ultramarine sky. Up in the zenith, so high that it dazzled one to look at them, a few vultures circled without the quiver of a wing.
Italy is shaking in its boot – from the top in Venice to the heel in Puglia. Tourism is the country’s number one industry and spending in early 2009 has declined nearly 9 percent from the previous year. Nancy Greenleese traveled to the Cinque Terre along the Ligurian Sea where the flow of tourist Euros is ebbing.

The ACME musicians — Caleb Burhans and Keats Dieffenbach, violinists; Nadia Sirota, violist; and Clarice Jensen, cellist — produced a sweet, refined sound with a rich vibrato, both in Mr. Johannsson’s music and in its curtain-raising performance of Gavin Bryars’s String Quartet No. 1 (“Between the National and the Bristol”).
vibrato
n., pl. -tos.
A tremulous or pulsating effect produced in an instrumental or vocal tone by minute and rapid variations in pitch.
[Italian, from Late Latin vibrātus, a quivering, from Latin, past participle of vibrāre, to vibrate. See vibrate.]
quake in my boots
Also, shake in one's boots; quake or shake like a leaf. Tremble with fear, as in The very thought of a hurricane blowing in makes me quake in my boots. Both quake and shake here mean "tremble." These idioms were preceded by the alliterative phrase shake in one's shoes in the late 1800s. The idioms with leaf allude to trembling leaves, as in He was shaking like a leaf when the exams were handed back. A similar expression was used by Chaucer, who put it as quake like an aspen leaf, a particularly apt comparison since aspen leaves have flattened stems that cause the leaves to quiver in the gentlest breeze.
