Red Blood Cells

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

    The poppy that my heart was,
    formed to bind all mortals,
    made to strike and gather hearts
    like flame upon an altar,
    fades and shrinks, a red leaf
    drenched and torn in the cold rain.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    My grandfather fell on Vinegar Hill,
    And fighting was not his trade;
    But his rusty pike’s in the cabin still,
    With Hessian blood on the blade.”
    Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)

    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)
