Burnt

Famous quotes containing the word burnt:

    O! let me clip ye
    In arms as sound as when I wooed, in heart
    As merry as when our nuptial day was done
    And tapers burnt to bedward!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A quiet conscience makes one so serene!
    Christians have burnt each other, quite persuaded
    That all the Apostles would have done as they did.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    People who are always praising the past
    And especially the times of faith as best
    Ought to go and live in the Middle Ages
    And be burnt at the stake as witches and sages.
    Stevie Smith (1902–1971)
