William Shakespeare
“Let them bestow on every airth a limb; Then open all my veins, that I may swim To thee, my Maker! in that crimson lake; Then place my parboiled head upon a stake - Scatter my ashes - strew them in the air; - Lord! since thou know'st where all these”
James Graham
“Through perils both of wind and limb, Through thick and thin she followed him”

“The cannon thunders - limbs fly in all directions - one can hear the groans of victims and the howling of those performing the sacrifice - it's Humanity in search of happiness”
Charles Baudelaire
