Famous quotes containing the words hair and/or art:
“A bracelet of bright hair about the bone,
Will he not let us alone,
And think that there a loving couple lies
Who thought that this device might be some way
To make their souls, at the last busy day,
Meet at this grave, and make a little stay?”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“Nonsense and beauty have close connections—closer connections than Art will allow.”
