Hair Shaft

Famous quotes containing the words hair and/or shaft:

    “A woman drew her long black hair out tight
    And fiddled whisper music on those strings
    And bats with baby faces in the violet light
    Whistled, and beat their wings
    And crawled head downward down a blackened wall....”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Lord, crack their teeth! Lord, crush these lions’ jaws!
    So let them sink as water in the sand;
    When deadly bow their aiming fury draws,
    Shiver the shaft ere past the shooter’s hand.
    So make them melt as the dishoused snail”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm LVIII (Paraphrased by the Countess of Pembroke)
