Alapaha Blue Blood

Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or blood:

“At twelve, the disintegration of afternoon
Began, the return to phantomerei, if not
To phantoms. Till then, it had been the other way:
One imagined the violet trees but the trees stood green,
At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Art thou some god, some angel, or some devil,
That mak’st my blood cold, and my hair to stare?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
