Left Hand Point

Famous quotes containing the words left, hand and/or point:

    I said I had the tree. It wasn’t true.
    The opposite was true. The tree had me.
    The minute it was left with me alone,
    It caught me up as if I were the fish
    And it the fishpole.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    ah! the uplifted sword
    Of his hand again my bosom! and oh, the broad
    Blade of his glance that asks me to applaud
    His coming!
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.
    Phil Patton (b. 1953)
