Burst Pulsed Sounds

Famous quotes containing the words burst and/or sounds:

“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)

“I lately met with an old volume from a London bookshop, containing the Greek Minor Poets, and it was a pleasure to read once more only the words Orpheus, Linus, Musæus,—those faint poetic sounds and echoes of a name, dying away on the ears of us modern men; and those hardly more substantial sounds, Mimnermus, Ibycus, Alcæus, Stesichorus, Menander. They lived not in vain. We can converse with these bodiless fames without reserve or personality.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
