Red Tides

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or tides:

“The silence is death.
It comes each day with its shock
to sit on my shoulder, a white bird,
and peck at the black eyes
and the vibrating red muscle
of my mouth.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“I have tossed hours upon the tides of fever,
Upon the billows of my bood have ridden,
Where fish of fancy teem as neither river
Nor ocean spawns from India to Sweden.”
—Vassar Miller (b. 1924)
