Raw Blood

Famous quotes containing the words raw and/or blood:

    One farmer says to me, “You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;” and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The blood congealing
    black
    between the pleased fingers.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
