Burns

Famous quotes containing the word burns:

“Unmeasured power, incredible passion, enormous craft: no thought
apparent but burns darkly
Smothered with its own smoke in the human brain-vault: no thought
outside; a certain measure in phenomena:
The fountains of the boiling stars, the flowers on the foreland, the
ever-returning roses of dawn.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

“The time flew by, wi’ tentless heed;
Till, ‘tween the late and early,
Wi’ sma’ persuasion she agreed
To see me thro’ the barley.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)

“Man’s inhumanity to Man Makes countless thousands mourn!”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
