Famous quotes containing the words red, eyes and/or black:
“The poppy that my heart was,
formed to bind all mortals,
made to strike and gather hearts
like flame upon an altar,
fades and shrinks, a red leaf
drenched and torn in the cold rain.”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)
“Get up and once again politely lying
Invite the ladies toward the mistletoe
With greedy eyes that stare like an old crow.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“In night when colours all to black are cast,
Distinction lost, or gone down with the light;
The eyea watch to inward senses placed,
Not seeing, yet still having power of sight
Gives vain alarums to the inward sense”
—Fulke Greville (15541628)
