Famous quotes containing the words white and/or hand:
“Heaven has its business and earth has its business: those are two separate things. Heaven, thats the angels pasture; they are happy; they dont have to fret about food and drink. And you can be sure that they have black angels to do the heavy work like laundering the clouds or sweeping the rain and cleaning the sun after a storm, while the white angels sing like nightingales all day long or blow in those little trumpets like they show in the pictures we see in church.”
—Jacques Roumain (19071945)
“My lovemy faithshould instil into your bosom a praeternatural calm. You would rest from care.... You would get better.... And if not, Helen,... if you diedthen at least would I clasp your dear hand in death, and willinglyoh, joyfully ... go down with you into the night of the Grave.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (18091849)
