Raw Blood

Famous quotes containing the words raw and/or blood:

    —‘I wish I had feathers, a fine sweeping gown,
    And a delicate face, and could strut about Town!’—
    ‘My dear—a raw country girl, such as you be,
    Cannot quite expect that. You ain’t ruined,’ said she.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    Dust fanned in scraped puffs from the earth
    Between his arms, and blood turned his face inside out,
    To demonstrate its suppleness
    Of veins, as he perfected his role.
    James Dickey (b. 1923)
