Famous quotes containing the word blood:

    What is this flesh I purchased with my pains,
    This fallen star my milk sustains,
    This love that makes my heart’s blood stop
    Or strikes a sudden chill into my bones
    And bids my hair stand up?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    What if I look upon a man
    As though on my beloved,
    And my blood be cold the while
    And my heart unmoved?
    Why should he think me cruel
    Or that he is betrayed?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Irrational streams of blood are staining earth;
    Empedocles has thrown all things about;
    Hector is dead and there’s a light in Troy;
    We that look on but laugh in tragic joy.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
