Burn Rises

Famous quotes containing the words burn and/or rises:

Individual beauty from
Thoughtful children, and the grave
Proves the child ephemeral:”

“I’m hurt, hurt and humiliated beyond endurance, seeing the wheat ripening, the fountains never ceasing to give water, the sheep bearing hundreds of lambs, the she-dogs, until it seems the whole country rises to show me its tender sleeping young while I feel two hammer-blows here instead of the mouth of my child.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
