Fist

Famous quotes containing the word fist:

    Her fist of a face died clenched on a round pain;
    And sculptured Ann is seventy years of stone.
    These cloud-sopped, marble hands, this monumental
    Argument of the hewn voice, gesture and psalm,
    Storm me forever over her grave
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    I was afraid the waking arm would break
    From the loose earth and rub against his eyes
    A fist of trees, and the whole country tremble
    In the exultant labor of his rise;
    Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    Leadership in today’s world requires far more than a large stock of gunboats and a hard fist at the conference table.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
