Flame Burns

Famous quotes containing the words flame burns, flame and/or burns:

    Flame burns, rain sinks into the cracks
    And they all go to rack ruin beneath the thud of the years,
    Stands genius a deathless adornment,
    a name not to be worn out with the years.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    Surrealism ... is the forbidden flame of the proletariat embracing the insurrectional dawn—enabling us to rediscover at last the revolutionary moment: the radiance of the workers’ councils as a life profoundly adored by those we love.
    —“Manifesto of the Arab Surrealist Movement” (1975)

    The best laid schemes o’ mice and men Gang aft agley;
    An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain, For promis’d joy!
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
