Hair

Famous quotes containing the word hair:

“Stiff springy jumps down the snowfields
Head held back, forefeet out,
Balls tight in a tough hair sack”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

“Passing away, saith the World, passing away:
Chances, beauty and youth sapped day by day:
Thy life never continueth in one stay.
Is the eye waxen dim, is the dark hair changing to gray
That hath won neither laurel nor bay?”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

“Nobody is saying that these people do not ultimately cease to be. And
Sometimes their passings are even more painful than ours.
It is just that so often they live till their hair is white.
They make excellent corpses, among the expensive flowers. . . .”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
