Famous quotes containing the words left, hand and/or point:
“Someone had literally run to earth
In an old cellar hole in a byroad
The origin of all the family there.
Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe
That now not all the houses left in town
Made shift to shelter them without the help
Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“His friends he loved. His direst earthly foes
CatsI believe he did but feign to hate.
My hand will miss the insinuated nose,
Mine eyes the tail that waggd contempt at Fate.”
—Sir William Watson (18581935)
“Bias, point of view, furyare they ... so dangerous and must they be ironed out of history, the hills flattened and the contours leveled? The professors talk ... about passion and point of view in history as a Calvinist talks about sin in the bedroom.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (18971973)
