Famous quotes containing the word arms:
“And to your more bewitching, see the proud,
Plump bed bear up, and swelling like a cloud,
Tempting the two too modest; can
Ye see it brustle like a swan,
And you be cold
To meet it when it woos and seems to fold
The arms to hug you? Throw, throw
Yourselves into the mighty overflow
Of that white pride, and drown
The night with you in floods of down.”
—Robert Herrick (15911674)
“It does not come to a man that to be separated from a woman is to be dislocated from his very self. A man has but one centre, and that is himself. A woman has two. Though the second may never be seen by her, may live in the arms of another, may do all for that other that man can do for woman,still, still, though he be half the globe asunder from her, still he is to her the half of her existence.”
—Anthony Trollope (18151882)
“Show some mercy to this chair which has stretched out its arms to you for so long; please satisfy its desire to embrace you!”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (16221673)
