"Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything." is Jacques's description of the seventh age of man in Shakespeare's "As You Like It". Surely others will answer the question below. Note that Jacques's fourth "sans" is "everything" and Kinbote's fourth is "anything but his art". What a difference!
As for the h-sounds, I have no idea. Four-H club? I think that those are Head, Heart, Hands, Health, not very likely familiar in an academic atmosphere. But successive h-sounds are pretty common, say, "He who has held a hundred hearts in his hand, who has heard hungry hounds howl..."
