Dead Heads

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or heads:

“Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive,
Half wishing they were dead to save the shame.
The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow;
They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats,
And flare up bodily, wings and all. What then?
Who’s sorry for a gnat ... or girl?”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“The common breeds the common,
A lout begets a lout,
So when I take on half a score
I knock their heads about.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
