Famous quotes containing the words ruby and/or eye:
“Lay down, lay down the bigly bier,
Lat me the dead look on;
Wi’ cherry cheeks and ruby lips
She lay an’ smil’d on him.
O ae sheave o’ your bread, true-love,
An’ ae glass o’ your wine,
For I hae fasted for your sake
These fully day [is] nine.”
—Anna Gordon Brown (1747–1810)
“If a man’s eye falls
on any of her limbs first,
it is stuck on that spot.
No one at all sees her body whole.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
