Mustard Gas Burns

Famous quotes containing the words mustard, gas and/or burns:

    when wine redeems the sight,
    Narrowing the mustard scansions of the eyes,
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    one pale woman all alone,
    The daylight kissing her wan hair,
    Loitered beneath the gas lamps’ flare,
    With lips of flame and heart of stone.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Ev’n thou who mourn’st the Daisy’s fate,
    That fate is thine—no distant date;
    Stern Ruin’s ploughshare drives , elate,
    Full on thy bloom,
    Till crush’d beneath the furrow’s weight,
    Shall be thy doom.
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
