Famous quotes containing the words red and/or skelton:

    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)

    With margeran gentle,
    The flower of goodlihood,
    Embroidered the mantle
    Is of your maidenhood.
    —John Skelton (1460?–1529)
