Red Figure

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or figure:

    “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)

    in gold

    on a red
    firetruck”
