Dark Hand

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or hand:

“Our roots are in the dark; the earth is our country. Why did we look up for blessing—instead of around, and down? What hope we have lies there. Not in the sky full of orbiting spy-eyes and weaponry, but in the earth we have looked down upon. Not from above, but from below. Not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

“ah! the uplifted sword
Of his hand again my bosom! and oh, the broad
Blade of his glance that asks me to applaud
His coming!”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
