The Hand

Famous quotes containing the word hand:

“Vigil strange I kept on the field one night;
When you my son and my comrade dropt at my side that day,
One look I but gave which your dear eyes return’d with a look I
shall never forget,
One touch of your hand to mine O boy, reach’d up as you lay on the ground,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“One has observed life poorly, if one has not also witnessed the hand that mercifully—kills.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
