High Hand

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or hand:

    I had a thought for no one’s but your ears:
    That you were beautiful, and that I strove
    To love you in the old high way of love;
    That it had all seemed happy, and yet we’d grown
    As weary-hearted as that hollow moon.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Now all day long the man who is not dead
    Hastens the dark with inattentive eyes,
    The woman with white hand and erect head
    Stares at the covers, leans for the son’s replies
    At last to her importunate womanhood....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
