Red Border

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or border:

“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)

“Liberal hopefulness
Regards death as a mere border to an improving picture.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
