Famous quotes containing the words head and/or blight:
“But it thought no bed too narrow—it stood with lips askew
And shook its great head sadly like the abstract Jew.”

Time’s 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.”
