Famous quotes containing the word arms:
“The sturdy Irish arms that do the work are of more worth than oak or maple. Methinks I could look with equanimity upon a long street of Irish cabins, and pigs and children reveling in the genial Concord dirt; and I should still find my Walden Wood and Fair Haven in their tanned and happy faces.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“If Heaven a draught of heavenly pleasure spare,
One cordial in this melancholy vale,
T is when a youthful, loving, modest pair
In others arms breathe out the tender tale,”
—Robert Burns (17591796)
“Death,
you lie in my arms like a cherub,
as heavy as bread dough.
Your milky wings are as still as plastic.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
