"The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Is the Hand That Rules the World" is a poem by William Ross Wallace that praises motherhood as the preeminent force for change in the world. The poem was first published in 1865 under the title "What Rules the World".
The repetition of the phrase "the hand that rocks the cradle" emphasizes the profound impact of mothers on their children's development and the ripple effects it has on future generations. The author's language is simple yet evocative, using imagery of a gentle hand guiding a stream of water to represent the mother's influence on her child's life.
Thanks largely to Rebecca De Mornay's delightfully villainous turn in the central role, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is an entertaining -- albeit rather silly -- domestic thriller.
