“LAUREL, n. The _laurus_, a vegetable dedicated to Apollo, and formerly defoliated to wreathe the brows of victors and such poets as had influence at court. (_Vide supra._)”
Ambrose Bierce
“I see a lilly on thy brow, / With anguish moist and fever dew; / And on thy cheek a fading rose / Fast withereth too. I met a lady in the meads / Full beautiful, a faery's child; / Her hair was long, her foot was light, / And her eyes were wild.”
John Keats
“I wasn't a great communicator, but I communicated great things, and they didn't spring full-bloom from my brow -- they came from the heart of a great nation.”
Ronald Reagan
“A high-brow is someone who looks at a sausage and thinks of Picasso.”
A. P. Herbert
“Walk till the blood appears on the cheek, but not the sweat on the brow”
Spanish Proverb
“With her high pale brow under her faded brown hair, she was like a rock washed clean by years of her husband's absences at conventions, dinners, committee meetings or simply at the office.”
Louis Auchincloss
