Burnt Alive

Famous quotes containing the words burnt and/or alive:

    So all were lost, which in the ship were found,
    They in the sea being burnt, they in the burnt ship drown’d.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    O how can it be that the ground itself does not sicken?
    How can you be alive you growths of spring?
    How can you furnish health you blood of herbs, roots, orchards, grain?
    Are they not continually putting distemper’d corpses within you?
    Is not every continent work’d over and over with sour dead?
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
