Famous quotes containing the words shadow and/or hand:

    When a shadow flits across the landscape of the soul where is the substance?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Be it so, for I submit; his doom is fair,
    That dust I am and shall to dust return.
    O welcome hour whenever! Why delays
    His hand to execute what his decree
    Fixed on this day? Why do I overlive?
    Why am I mocked with death, and lengthened out
    To deathless pain? How gladly would I meet
    Mortality, my sentence, and be earth
    Insensible! how glad would lay me down
    As in my mother’s lap!
    John Milton (1608–1674)
