Head Cap Screw

Famous quotes containing the words head, cap and/or screw:

    Embraces are cominglings from the head even to the feet,
    And not a pompous high priest entering by a secret place.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    ‘I have cap and bells,’ he pondered,
    ‘I will send them to her and die’;
    And when the morning whitened
    He left them where she went by.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
