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 mans down-lying,
This his slow but sure reclining,
Star by star his world resigning.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“I think I could . . .
if Id been different, or wise, or calm,
I think I could have charmed the table,
the stained dish or the hand of the dealer.
But its done.
Its all used up.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
