Bloodstained/blood

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)

    Yet love enters my blood like an I.V.,
    dripping in its little white moments.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
