Test Showed Blood

Famous quotes containing the words test, showed and/or blood:

    “The face we see was never young,
    Nor could it ever have been old.

    For he, to whom we had applied
    Our shopman’s test of age and worth,
    Was elemental when he died,
    As he was ancient at his birth:”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    “Thus did I keep my person fresh and new,
    My presence, like a robe pontifical,
    Ne’er seen but wondered at, and so my state,
    Seldom but sumptuous, showed like a feast.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “If we must die, O let us nobly die,
    So that our precious blood may not be shed
    In vain; then even the monsters we defy
    Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!”
    —Claude McKay (1889–1948)
