Hands

But stand with empty hands and palms turned upwards
In an age which advances progressively backwards?”

“Lincoln, six feet one in his stocking feet,
The lank man, knotty and tough as a hickory rail,
Whose hands were always too big for white-kid gloves,
Whose wit was a coonskin sack of dry, tall tales,
Whose weathered face was homely as a plowed field.”
—Stephen Vincent Benét (1898–1943)

“If hands could you free you, heart,
Where would you fly?”
