    I know - shows the writer's realization of something.
    Not these my hands - gives insight as to what the something is and even expresses perhaps a bit of shock or disgust or even awe on the writer's part, depending on the situation.
    And yet I think there was - tells me that her fascination with this "something", in this case, her hands, has given her cause to ponder further, which shows a certain depth to her thinking process.
    A woman like me once had hands - this shows that she is looking at the likeness or common bond she has with another.
    Like these. - She is performing a comparison between herself or her situation and that of another.

    I too get the impression that she could be making reference to a comparison between the woman she thought she was and the woman she is now. Perhaps she is struggling with the fact that she has become like her mother. There are many comparison's one could make really. I am assuming only one situation, but the same would hold true if she were simply choosing to follow in the footsteps of another and had finally achieved that goal.

  • on Old Fighting-Men by Rudyard Kipling, on June 10, 2005
    That closing line really cinches things. While other men and women prosper, those who fought for our freedom and right to do so remain far from being rewarded for their efforts. In fact, many have been tossed aside and forgotten. Hiw many lives have made the supreme sacrifice. It's wasn't/isn't just those who have fought. It's their family members as well who have sacrificed for all. This is very thought provoking.

    This paints quite the descriptive scene of what it's like to be in the face of death day after day during times of war. I cannot even imagine what our men and women have had to face all through history just to get us where we are today.

    WoW! The comparison between the two time periods was quite amazing. Whe I think of how the marching of time has brought about so much progression, we tend not to think that progression and transformation covers all areas, including weapons of mass destruction. This was very interesting.
