Arms

Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    I’ve been opened and undressed.
    I have no arms or legs.
    I’m all one skin like a fish.
    I’m no more a woman
    than Christ was a man.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    A line in long array, where they wind betwixt green islands;
    They take a serpentine course—their arms flash in the sun—hark to the musical clank;
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Vengeance upon the murderers,” the cry goes up,
    “Vengeance for Jacques Molay.” In cloud-pale rags, or in lace,
    The rage-driven, rage-tormented, and rage-hungry troop,
    Trooper belabouring trooper, biting at arm or at face,
    Plunges towards nothing, arms and fingers spreading wide
    For the embrace of nothing....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
