Totem Staff

Famous quotes containing the words totem and/or staff:

“Now defined as art, the totem has lost cult, taboo, and custom.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
—Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)
