The weight that hangs upon our eyelids - is of lead.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is not the least anxiety that we have so little powder and lead on hand.
We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking. In that race which daily hastens us towards death, the body maintains its irreparable lead.
I've made sure I am working hard enough to get that lead and keep it there.
Strength is leading when you just don't want to lead.
Most people draw from the mind, not the eye. They draw the idea of a table or a face, not what's in front of them. We don't actually see the line of the jaw as a line and we don't see an eye as a perfectly outlined almond shape.
You know, I've always tried to look at things as just what the part was. I never tried to worry about whether it was the lead or not the lead, because I think you can really mess your mind up when you're too caught up in those things.
Lead levels exceeding federal thresholds pose a serious public health threat, particularly for more vulnerable populations.
Every article I wrote in those days, every speech I made, is full of pleading for the recognition of lead poisoning as a real and serious medical problem.
It is the eye of other people that ruin us. If I were blind I would want, neither fine clothes, fine houses or fine furniture.
A brain of feathers, and a heart of lead.
