Red Crystal

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or crystal:

    “Here thou art painted in the dress
    Of an inhuman murderess;
    Examining upon our hearts
    Thy fertile shop of cruel arts:
    Engines more keen than ever yet
    Adorned tyrant’s cabinet,
    Of which the most tormenting are
    Black eyes, red lips, and curled hair.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    As fer as cercled is the mapemounde:
    For as the crystal glorious ye shine,
    And like ruby been youre cheekes rounde.”
