Famous quotes containing the words red, blood and/or cell:

    look the spangles
    that sleep all the year in a dark box
    dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,
    the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,

    put up your little arms
    and i’ll give them all to you to hold
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)

    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.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Women have no wilderness in them,
    They are provident instead,
    Content in the tight hot cell of their hearts
    To eat dusty bread.
    Louise Bogan (1897–1970)
