Fingers

Famous quotes containing the word fingers:

“The world-spirit is a good swimmer, and storms and waves can not drown him. He snaps his fingers at laws; and so, throughout history, heaven seems to affect low and poor means. Through the years and the centuries, through evil agents, through toys and atoms, a great and beneficent tendency irresistibly streams.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“First time he kissed me, he but only kiss’d
The fingers of this hand wherewith I write;”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“The twilight is long fingers and black hair.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
