Touching

Famous quotes containing the word touching:

    Did she in touching that lone wing
    Recall the years before her mind
    Became a bitter, an abstract thing...?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I approach these questions unwillingly, as it wounds, but no cure can be effected without touching upon and handling them.
    Titus Livius (Livy)

    when such bodies join
    There is no touching here, nor touching there,
    Nor straining joy, but whole is joined to whole;
    For the intercourse of angels is a light
    Where for its moment both seem lost, consumed.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
