Rear Hand

Famous quotes containing the words rear and/or hand:

    Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    O thou immortal light and heat!
    Whose hand so shines through all this frame,
    That by the beauty of the seat,
    We plainly see who made the same.
    Seeing thy seed abides in me,
    Dwell thou in it, and I in thee.
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
