Red Blood Cells

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

    Here thou art painted in the dress
    Of an inhuman murderess;
    Examining upon our hearts
    Thy fertile shop of cruel arts:
    Engines more keen than ever yet
    Adorned tyrant’s cabinet,
    Of which the most tormenting are
    Black eyes, red lips, and curled hair.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    Those times I mussed his curly black hair
    and touched his ten tar-fingers
    and swallowed down his whiskey breath.
    Red. Red. Father, you are blood red.
    Father,
    we are two birds on fire.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The twelve Cells for Incorrigibles ... are also carved out of the solid rock hill. On the walls of one of the cells human “liberty” is clearly inscribed, with the “liberty” in significant quotation marks.
    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
