Red Hook High

Famous quotes containing the words red, hook and/or high:

    And out of her bosom there grew a red rose
    And out of Lord Lovel’s a briar, briar, briar,
    And out of Lord Lovel’s a briar.

    And yet—it is not beauty that inspires the deepest passion. Beauty without grace is the hook without the bait. Beauty, without expression, tires.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    While yet a boy I sought for ghosts, and sped
    Through many a listening chamber, cave and ruin,
    And starlight wood, with fearful steps pursuing
    Hopes of high talk with the departed dead.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
