Burnt Alive

Famous quotes containing the words burnt and/or alive:

    One year
    They sent a million here:
    Here men were drunk like water, burnt like wood.
    The fat of good
    And evil, the breast’s star of hope
    Were rendered into soap.
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    I remember meeting you in a dark dream
    Of April, you or some girl,
    The necklace of wishes alive and breathing around your throat.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
