Famous quotes containing the word arms:
“Sleep takes off the costume of circumstance, arms us with terrible freedom, so that every will rushes to a deed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Ive been opened and undressed.
I have no arms or legs.
Im all one skin like a fish.
Im no more a woman
than Christ was a man.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“Shall the Spring dawn, and she still clad in smiles,
And with an unscathed brow,
Rest in the strong arms of her palm-crowned isles,
As fair and free as now?
We know not; in the temple of the Fates
God has inscribed her doom;
And, all untroubled in her faith, she waits
The triumph or the tomb.”
—Henry Timrod (18281867)
