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)

    My grandfather fell on Vinegar Hill,
    And fighting was not his trade;
    But his rusty pike’s in the cabin still,
    With Hessian blood on the blade.”
    Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
