White Blood

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or blood:

    In marble halls as white as milk,
    Lined with a skin as soft as silk,
    Within a fountain crystal-clear,
    A golden apple doth appear.
    No doors there are to this stronghold,
    Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.
    Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. In marble walls as white as milk (Riddle: An Egg)

    The blood we give the dead to drink
    is deeds we do at the will of the dead spirits in us,
    not our own live will.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
