Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / William Blake poem

English term or phrase: high head

Were not all her life but storm
Would not painters paint a form,
"Of such noble lines' I said,
Such a delicate high head
All that sternness amid charm
All that sweetness amid strength?
Ah, but peace that comes at length".

delicate high head porte distinto/altivo, (mas) delicado

Explanation:
Altivo pode também ter conotação de arrogância, que combinará menos bem com "delicado". Daí a minha sugestão de "distinto"...
