Famous quotes containing the words hands and/or clasped:
“This world has many rings, like Saturn, and we live now on the outmost of them all. None can say deliberately that he inhabits the same sphere, or is contemporary, with the flower which his hands have plucked, and though his feet may seem to crush it, inconceivable spaces and ages separate them, and perchance there is no danger that he will hurt it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I pursued a maiden and clasped a reed.
Gods and men, we are all deluded thus!”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
