Hair Shaft Cell

Famous quotes containing the words hair, shaft and/or cell:

    To-night she will spread her brown hair on his pillow,
    But I shall be hearing the harsh cries of wild fowl.

    Lord, crack their teeth! Lord, crush these lions’ jaws!
    So let them sink as water in the sand;
    When deadly bow their aiming fury draws,
    Shiver the shaft ere past the shooter’s hand.
    So make them melt as the dishoused snail
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm LVIII (Paraphrased by the Countess of Pembroke)

    each in the cell of himself is almost convinced of his freedom,
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
