Famous quotes containing the words burnt and/or alive:
“Iron are our lives
Molten right through our youth.
A burnt space through ripe fields
A fair mouth’s broken tooth.”
—Isaac Rosenberg (1890–1918)
“Why has mankind had such a craving to be imposed upon? Why this lust after imposing creeds, imposing deeds, imposing buildings, imposing language, imposing works of art? The thing becomes an imposition and a weariness at last. Give us things that are alive and flexible, which won’t last too long and become an obstruction and a weariness. Even Michelangelo becomes at last a lump and a burden and a bore. It is so hard to see past him.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
