Purple Heart Medal

Famous quotes containing the words purple and/or heart:

    How clean the sun when seen in its idea,
    Washed in the remotest cleanliness of a heaven
    That has expelled us and our images . . .
    The death of one god is the death of all.
    Let purple Phoebus lie in umber harvest,
    Let Phoebus slumber and die in autumn umber....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    my heart leaps
    in wonder.
    Cold, fresh, deep, I feel the word ‘water’
    spelled in my left palm.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
