Famous quotes containing the words ring and/or finger:
“I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.””
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“That only needs a finger touch from God
To spring it like a deadfall and the fault
In nature would wipe out all human fault.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
