Bursts

Famous quotes containing the word bursts:

    I know what darkness is, it accumulates, thickens, then suddenly bursts and drowns everything.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    Cruel with guilt, and daring with despair,
    The midnight murderer bursts the faithless bar;
    Invades the sacred hour of silent rest
    And leaves, unseen, a dagger in your breast.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    What is the city over the mountains
    Cracks and reforms and bursts in the violet air
    Falling towers
    Jerusalem Athens Alexandria
    Vienna London
    Unreal
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
