Right Arm Leg

Famous quotes containing the words arm and/or leg:

    “I was afraid the waking arm would break
    From the loose earth and rub against his eyes
    A fist of trees, and the whole country tremble
    In the exultant labor of his rise;”
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    “Entrance and exit wounds are silvered clean,
    The track aches only when the rain reminds.
    The one-legged man forgets his leg of wood.
    The one-armed man his jointed wooden arm.
    The blinded man sees with his ears and hands
    As much or more than once with both his eyes.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)
