Famous quotes containing the word blood:
“Other sins only speak; murder shrieks out:
The element of water moistens the earth,
But blood flies upwards, and bedews the heavens.”

And binds the braina dense oppression, such
As tawny tigers feel in matted shades,
Vexing their blood and making apt for ravage.”

“Dust fanned in scraped puffs from the earth
Between his arms, and blood turned his face inside out,
To demonstrate its suppleness
Of veins, as he perfected his role.”
