Famous quotes containing the words anterior and/or head:

    “But now moments surround us
    Like a crowd, some inquisitive faces, some hostile ones,
    Some enigmatic or turned away to an anterior form of time
    Given once and for all. The jetstream inscribes a final flourish
    That melts as it stays.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “putting his hope in certain death, lowering
    his head again to the grass.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
