Famous quotes containing the words lion and/or head:

    “Roused by the lash of his own stubborn tail
    Our lion now will foreign foes assail.”
    —John Dryden (1631–1700)

    “Piece by piece I seem
    to re-enter the world: I first began
    a small, fixed dot, still see
    that old myself, a dark-blue thumbtack
    pushed into the scene,
    a hard little head protruding
    from the pointillist’s buzz and bloom.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
