Fox Head Tavern

Famous quotes containing the words fox, head and/or tavern:

    Many scraps make a lot; fox furs, sewn together, make a fine robe.
    Chinese proverb.

    What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
    I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
    Under my head till morning; out the rain
    Is full of ghosts tonight,
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    Rude poets of the tavern hearth,
    squandering your unquoted mirth,
    which keeps the ground, and never soars,
    while jake retorts, and reuben roars;
    tough and screaming, as birch-bark,
    goes like bullet to its mark;
    while the solid curse and jeer
    never balk the waiting ear.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
