Arms

Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    The eyes that drew from me such fervent praise,
    The arms and hands and feet and countenance
    Which made me a stranger in my own romance
    And set me apart from the well-trodden ways;
    Petrarch (1304–1374)

    Once they came on a maple in a glade,
    Standing alone with smooth arms lifted up,
    And every leaf of foliage she’d worn
    Laid scarlet and pale pink about her feet.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    in my arms till break of day
    Let the living creature lie,
    Mortal, guilty, but to me
    The entirely beautiful.

    Soul and body have no bounds:
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
