Red Chamber

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or chamber:

    The red of her lower lip
    kissed off by her lover at night
    can be seen at dawn,
    reflected in the eyes
    of other wives.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    But it is the same thing we are all seeing,
    Our world. Go after it,
    Go get it boy, says the man holding the stick.
    Eat, says the hunger, and we plunge blindly in again,
    Into the chamber behind the thought.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
