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)

“For sounds in winter nights, and often in winter days, I heard the forlorn but melodious note of a hooting owl indefinitely far; such a sound as the frozen earth would yield if struck with a suitable plectrum, the very lingua vernacula of Walden Wood, and quite familiar to me at last, though I never saw the bird while it was making it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
