Famous quotes containing the word stroke:

    “The five kings count the dead but do not soften
    The crusted wound nor stroke the brow;
    A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven;
    Hands have no tears to flow.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “There are no days in life so memorable as those which vibrated to some stroke of the imagination.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I should like to suggest that at least on the face of it a stroke by stroke story of a copulation is exactly as absurd as a chew by chew account of the consumption of a chicken’s wing.”
    —William Gass (b. 1924)
