Red Blood Cells

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

    The silence is death.
    It comes each day with its shock
    to sit on my shoulder, a white bird,
    and peck at the black eyes
    and the vibrating red muscle
    of my mouth.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Irrational streams of blood are staining earth;
    Empedocles has thrown all things about;
    Hector is dead and there’s a light in Troy;
    We that look on but laugh in tragic joy.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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)
