Famous quotes containing the words red, blood and/or cell:

    The sable presbyters approach
    The avenue of penitence;
    The young are red and pustular
    Clutching piaculative pence.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Our hearts seemed safe in our breasts and sang to the
    Light—
    The marrow in the bone
    We dreamed was safe . . . the blood in the veins, the
    sap in the tree
    Were springs of Deity.
    Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)

    A cell for prayer, a hall for joy,—
    They treated nature as they would.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
