Famous quotes containing the words heat and/or detected:
“And suddenly, to be dying
Is not a little or mean or cheap thing,
Only wearying, the heat unbearable ...”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The night in prison was novel and interesting enough.... I found that even here there was a history and a gossip which never circulated beyond the walls of the jail. Probably this is the only house in the town where verses are composed, which are afterward printed in a circular form, but not published. I was shown quite a long list of verses which were composed by some young men who had been detected in an attempt to escape, who avenged themselves by singing them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
