Famous quotes containing the word blood:

    What if I look upon a man
    As though on my beloved,
    And my blood be cold the while
    And my heart unmoved?
    Why should he think me cruel
    Or that he is betrayed?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The blood congealing
    black
    between the pleased fingers.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Behold that great Plotinus swim
    Buffeted by such seas;
    Bland Rhadamanthus beckons him,
    But the Golden Race looks dim,
    Salt blood blocks his eyes.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
