Red Poppy

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or poppy:

“The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the same breath—the beast, the tree, the man, they all share the same breath. The white man does not seem to notice the air he breathes. Like a man dying for many days, he is numb to the stench.”
—Attributed to Seattle (c. 1784–1866)

“The young woman-smell
Of your poppy body
Rises to my brain as opium”
