Red Cross Societies

Famous quotes containing the words red, cross and/or societies:

    The dog-wood breaks white
    The pear-tree has caught
    The apple is a red blaze
    The peach has already withered its own leaves
    The wild plum-tree is alight.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    I’d take off all my clothes
    & cross the damp cold lawn & down the bluff
    into the terrible water & walk forever
    under it out toward the island.
    John Berryman (1914–1972)

    Modern equalitarian societies ... whether democratic or authoritarian in their political forms, always base themselves on the claim that they are making life happier.... Happiness thus becomes the chief political issue—in a sense, the only political issue—and for that reason it can never be treated as an issue at all.
    Robert Warshow (1917–1955)
