Open Burning

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or burning:

    What is reality?
    I am a plaster doll; I pose
    with eyes that cut open without landfall or nightfall
    upon some shellacked and grinning person,
    eyes that open, blue, steel, and close.
    Am I approximately an I. Magnin transplant?
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    But must I confess how I liked him,
    How glad I was he had come like a guest in quiet, to drink at my
    water-trough
    And depart peaceful, pacified, and thankless,
    Into the burning bowels of this earth?
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
