Soft Hand

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or hand:

    “half-way up the hill, I see the Past
    Lying beneath me with its sounds and sights,—
    A city in the twilight dim and vast,
    With smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights,—
    And hear above me on the autumnal blast
    The cataract of Death far thundering from the heights.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “Two well-assorted travellers use
    The highway, Eros and the muse.
    From the twins is nothing hidden,
    To the pair is naught forbidden;
    Hand in hand the comrades go
    Every nook of nature through:
    Each for the other they were born,
    Each can other best adorn.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
