Famous quotes containing the word blood:

    The blood weeps from my heart when I do shape,
    In forms imaginary, th’ unguided days
    And rotten times that you shall look upon
    When I am sleeping with my ancestors.

    My blood flows in thy stream,
    And thou meanderest forever
    At the bottom of my dream.
