Losing Hand

Famous quotes containing the words losing and/or hand:

    The eager fate which carried thee
    Took the largest part of me:
    For this losing is true dying;
    This is lordly man’s down-lying,
    This his slow but sure reclining,
    Star by star his world resigning.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    For, eschewing books and tasks,
    Nature answers all he asks;
    Hand in hand with her he walks;
    Face to face with her he talks,
    Part and parcel of her joy,—
    Blessings on the barefoot boy!
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
