Famous quotes containing the words indian and/or head:
“But we, in anchor-watches calm,
The Indian Psyche’s languor won,
And, musing, breathed primeval balm
From Edens ere yet over-run;
Marvelling mild if mortal twice,
Here and hereafter, touch a Paradise.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“A king’s head is solemnly oiled at his coronation, even as a head of salad.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
