Head Spirits

Famous quotes containing the words head and/or spirits:

“Hugo, like a priest, always has his head bowed—bowed so low that he can see nothing except his own navel.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

“The twentieth year is well-nigh past;
Since first our sky was overcast,
Ah would that this might be the last!
My Mary!
Thy spirits have a fainter flow,
I see thee daily weaker grow—
‘Twas my distress that brought thee low,
My Mary!
Thy needles, once a shining store,
For my sake restless heretofore,
Now rust disus’d, and shine no more,
My Mary!”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
