Famous quotes containing the words raised and/or arms:

    “But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.”
    —Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 15:20.

    ““Vengeance upon the murderers,” the cry goes up,
    “Vengeance for Jacques Molay.” In cloud-pale rags, or in lace,
    The rage-driven, rage-tormented, and rage-hungry troop,
    Trooper belabouring trooper, biting at arm or at face,
    Plunges towards nothing, arms and fingers spreading wide
    For the embrace of nothing....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
