Touching

Famous quotes containing the word touching:

Recall the years before her mind
Became a bitter, an abstract thing...?”

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.”
