Famous quotes containing the word hands:

    “Whate’er she meant by it, bury it with me,
    For since I am
    Love’s martyr, it might breed idolatry,
    If into others’ hands these Reliques came;
    As ‘twas humility
    To afford to it all that a Soul can do,
    So, ‘tis some bravery,
    That since you would save none of me, I bury some of you.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “Have you seen but a bright lily grow
    Before rude hands have touch’d it?
    Have you mark’d but the fall of the snow
    Before the soil hath smutch’d it?
    Have you felt the wool of the beaver,
    Or swan’s down ever?
    Or have smelt of the bud of the brier,
    Or the nard in the fire?
    Or have tasted the bag of the bee?
    O so white, O so soft, O so sweet is she!”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
