I was reading student essays when I came across the following sentence:
“The Elephant Man was big in his day, but not because of his head.”
This is folk art wisdom.
**
Nothing scares human beings more than the human head.
**
I loved it when students stole the taxidermed head of Jeremy Bentham.
**
Bentham was big, but not not because of his head.
