Burst Pulsed Sounds

Famous quotes containing the words burst and/or sounds:

    “It was so old a ship—who knows, who knows?
    MAnd yet so beautiful, I watched in vain
    To see the mast burst open with a rose,
    And the whole deck put on its leaves again.”
    —James Elroy Flecker (1884–1919)

    “half-way up the hill, I see the Past
    Lying beneath me with its sounds and sights,—
    A city in the twilight dim and vast,
    With smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights,—
    And hear above me on the autumnal blast
    The cataract of Death far thundering from the heights.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
