Strikes

Famous quotes containing the word strikes:

    Kassandra shakes out her hair
    Its gold clasped
    With half-opened laurel-shoots
    When the god strikes her
    With his breath.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 6:29.

    The origin of storms is not in clouds,
    our lightning strikes when the earth rises,
    spillways free authentic power:
    dead John Brown’s body walking from a tunnel
    to break the armored and concluded mind.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
