Famous quotes containing the words red and/or lion:
“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)
“The lion dying thrusteth forth his paw
And wounds the earth, if nothing else, with rage
To be o’erpowered.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
