Red Chamber

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or chamber:

    Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?
    For these red lips, with all their mournful pride,
    Mournful that no new wonder may betide,
    Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam,
    And Usna’s children died.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A snake, with mottles rare,
    Surveyed my chamber floor,
    In feature as the worm before,
    But ringed with power.
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
