Whirling Arm

Famous quotes containing the words whirling and/or arm:

    There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep; strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, as sand eddies in a whirlwind.
    Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)

    Have I in conquest stretched mine arm so far
    To be afeared to tell greybeards the truth?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
