Dark Hand

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or hand:

    “I remember, I remember
    The fir trees dark and high;
    I used to think their slender tops
    Were close against the sky;
    It was a childish ignorance,
    But now ‘tis little joy
    To know I’m further off from Heaven
    Than when I was a boy.”
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

    “I think I could . . .
    if I’d been different, or wise, or calm,
    I think I could have charmed the table,
    the stained dish or the hand of the dealer.
    But it’s done.
    It’s all used up.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
