Famous quotes containing the words head and/or blight:
“Standing on the bare ground,my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space,all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part and particle of God.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“This luxury of the precocious child,
Times precious chronic invalid,
would we, darlings, resign it if we could?
Our blight has been our sinecure:
mere talent was enough for us
glitter in fragments and rough drafts.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
