Burst Pulsed Sounds

Famous quotes containing the words burst and/or sounds:

“and wait and watch until
The fattening dots burst into nimble-
Swimming tadpoles.”
—Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

“While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchopper’s axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, “By George, I’ll bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that.” These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
