Burns

Famous quotes containing the word burns:

    The time flew by, wi’ tentless heed;
    Till, ‘tween the late and early,
    Wi’ sma’ persuasion she agreed
    To see me thro’ the barley.

    It burns the thing
    inside it. And that thing
    screams.
    Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)

    Think, when your castigated pulse
    Gies now and then a wallop,
    What ragings must his veins convulse,
    That still eternal gallop:
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
