Famous quotes containing the words burnt and/or alive:
“To many women marriage is only this. It is merely a physical change impinging on their ordinary nature, leaving their mentality untouched, their self-possession intact. They are not burnt by even the red fire of physical passionfar less by the white fire of love.”
—Mary Webb (18811927)
“Squats on a toad-stool under a tree
A bodiless childfull of life in the gloom,
Crying with frog voice, What shall I be?
Poor unborn ghost, for my mother killed me
Scarcely alive in her wicked womb.”
—Thomas Lovell Beddoes (18031849)
