Red Calves

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or calves:

    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)

    Away with us he’s going,
    The solemn-eyed:
    He’ll hear no more the lowing
    Of the calves on the warm hillside
    Or the kettle on the hob
    Sing peace into his breast,
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
