Scarlet Letter

Famous quotes containing the words scarlet and/or letter:

    Along the avenue of cypresses,
    All in their scarlet cloaks and surplices
    Of linen, go the chanting choristers,
    The priests in gold and black, the villagers. . . .
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    For each letter received from a creditor, write fifty lines on an extraterrestrial subject and you will be saved.
