Famous quotes containing the word blood:

    by noon
    the whole city in all its corruption,
    all its shed blood the monsoon cannot wash away,
    has become a temple,
    fragile, insolent, absolute.

    black
    between the pleased fingers.

    And though all streams flow from a single course to cleanse the blood from polluted hand, they hasten on their course in vain.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
