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)

“He who does something at the head of one Regiment, will eclipse him who does nothing at the head of a hundred.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
