Severed Head

Famous quotes containing the words severed and/or head:

    It was your severed image that grew sweeter,
    That floated, wing-stiff, focused in the sun
    Along uncertainty and gales of shame
    Blown out before I slept. Now you are one
    I dare not think alive: only a name
    That chimes occasionally, as a belief
    Long since embedded in the static past.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Woman is the crown of all creation, but Man is the head who wears it, and even the servant is master in his house.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
