Famous quotes containing the words red, blood and/or cells:
“To-night the winds begin to rise
And roar from yonder dropping day:
The last red leaf is whirld away,
The rooks are blown about the skies;
The forest crackd, the waters curld,
The cattle huddled on the lea;”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
“This nation is founded on blood like a city on swamps
yet its dream has been beautiful and sometimes just
that now grows brutal and heavy as a burned out star.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
“They are sworn enemies of lyric poetry.
In prison they accompany the jailer,
Enter cells to hear confessions.
Their short-end comes down
When you least expect it.”
—Charles Simic (b. 1938)
