Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or banks:
“I, a spinning man,
Glory also this star, bird
Roared, sea born, man torn, blood blest.”

“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?
Thou’lt break my heart, thou warbling bird,
That wantons thro’ the flowering thorn:
Thou minds me o’ departed joys,
Departed never to return.”
