Head Mask

Famous quotes containing the words head and/or mask:

    “Thus Satan talking to his neerest Mate
    With Head up-lift above the wave, and Eyes
    That sparkling blaz’d, his other Parts besides
    Prone on the Flood, extended long and large
    Lay floating many a rood, in bulk as huge
    As whom the Fables name of monstrous size,
    Titanian, or Earth-born, that warr’d on Jove,
    Briarios or Typhon, whom the Den
    By ancient Tarsus held, or that Sea-beast
    Leviathan,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “To clothe the fiery thought
    In simple words succeeds,
    For still the craft of genius is
    To mask a king in weeds.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
