Famous quotes containing the words burst and/or gum:
“No burst of nuclear phenomenon
That put an end to what was going on
Could make much difference to the dead and gone.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Two wooden tubs of blue hydrangeas stand at the foot of the stone steps.
The sky is a blue gum streaked with rose. The trees are black.
The grackles crack their throats of bone in the smooth air.
Moisture and heat have swollen the garden into a slum of bloom.
Pardie! Summer is like a fat beast, sleepy in mildew....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
