Weak Hand

Famous quotes containing the words weak and/or hand:

    “If with light head erect I sing,
    Though all the muses lend their force,
    From my poor love of anything,
    The verse is weak and shallow as its source.

    But if with bended neck I grope,
    Listening behind me for my wit,
    With faith superior to hope,
    More anxious to keep back than forward it,”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Old photograph: amid the set poses of her family, a young girl smiles and raises her hand a little.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
