Famous quotes containing the word touch:
“It is panting; it is an odor with a face
like the skin of a donkey. It laps my sores.
It is hurt, I think, as I touch its little head.
It bleeds.”

And must I lose a soul’s inheritance?”

Until his ink were tempered with love’s sighs.
O then his lines would ravish savage ears,
And plant in tyrants mild humility.”
