Famous quotes containing the word comb:
“So summer comes in the end to these few stains
And the rust and rot of the door through which she went.
The house is empty. But here is where she sat
To comb her dewy hair, a touchless light,
Perplexed by its darker iridescences.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“In Little Rock the people bear
Babes, and comb and part their hair
And watch the want ads, put repair
To roof and latch.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“Soldier, scholar, horseman, he,
As ‘twere all life’s epitome.
What made us dream that he could comb grey hair?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
