Missed Double

Famous quotes containing the words missed and/or double:

    The painters did very well by her;
    it is true, they missed never a line
    of the suave turn of the head
    or subtle shade of lowered eye-lid
    or eye-lids half-raised.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    To be a woman and a writer
    is double mischief, for
    the world will slight her
    who slights “the servile house,” and who would rather
    make odes than beds.
    Dilys Laing (1906–1960)
