Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or banks:
“The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike,
The devil will come, and Faustus must be damned.
O Ill leap up to my God: who pulls me down?
See, see, where Christs blood streams in the firmament.
One drop would save my soul, half a drop, ah my Christ.”
—Christopher Marlowe (15641593)
“Ye banks and braes o bonnie Doon,
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
And I sae weary fu o care?
Thoult break my heart, thou warbling bird,
That wantons thro the flowering thorn:
Thou minds me o departed joys,
Departed never to return.”
—Robert Burns (17591796)
