Fingers

Famous quotes containing the word fingers:

“For the baby suckles and there is a people made of milk for her to use. There are milk trees to hiss her on. There are milk beds in which to lie and dream of a warm room. There are milk fingers to fold and unfold. There are milk bottoms that are wet and caressed and put into their cotton.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“So cold, so icy that one burns one’s fingers on him! Every hand that touches him pulls away in fright!—And for that very reason, some take him to be glowing hot.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, in unwomanly rags
Plying her needle and thread—
Stitch! stitch! stitch!
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
