Roar

Famous quotes containing the word roar:

“The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
The glittering spears are ranked ready;
The shouts o’ war are heard afar,
The battle closes thick and bloody;
But it’s no the roar o’ sea or shore
Wad mak me langer wish to tarry;
Nor shout o’ war that’s heard afar,
Its leaving thee, my bonnie Mary.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)

“The body

whips the soul. In its great desire
it demands the elixir

In the roar of spring,
transmutations.”
—Charles Olson (1910–1970)
