Famous quotes containing the words bloodstained and/or blood:
“Now, again, poetry
violent, arcane, common,
hewn of the commonest living substance
into archway, portal, frame
I grasp for you, your bloodstained splinters, your
ancient and stubborn poise
Mas the earth trembles—
burning out from the grain”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The look for me moonlight.
Watch for me by moonlight,
And he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat.”
—Alfred Noyes (1880–1958)
