Famous quotes containing the words trembling hand, form, trembling and/or hand:
“Ye gentle souls, who dream of rural ease,
Whom the smooth stream and smoother sonnet please;
Go! if the peaceful cot your praises share,
Go, look within, and ask if peace be there:
If peace be his—that drooping weary sire,
Of theirs, that offspring round their feeble fire,
Or hers, that matron pale, whose trembling hand
Turns on the wretched hearth th’ expiring brand.”

That clutched and held that trembling hill!”

On the light fantastic toe,
And in thy right hand lead with thee,
The mountain nymph, sweet Liberty;”
