One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

    you show her the two hands
    that grip each other fiercely,
    one being mine, one being yours.
    Torn right off at the wrist bone
    when you started in your
    impossible going, gone.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    One by one objects are defined—
    It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf

    But now the stark dignity of
    entrance—Still, the profound change
    has come upon them: rooted, they
    grip down and begin to awaken
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    Loves riddles are, that though thy heart depart,
    It stayes at home, and thou with losing savest it:
    But wee will have a way more liberall,
    Then changing hearts, to joyne them, so wee shall
    Be one, and one anothers All.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
