Famous quotes containing the word burning:
“The boy stood on the burning deck,
Whence all but he had fled;
The flame that lit the battles wreck,
Shone round him oer the dead.
Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
As born to rule the storm;
A creature of heroic blood,
A proud though childlike form.”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (17831835)

—Andrew Jackson (17671845)
