Famous quotes containing the words flare and/or spray:

    “Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive,
    Half wishing they were dead to save the shame.
    The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow;
    They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats,
    And flare up bodily, wings and all. What then?
    Who’s sorry for a gnat ... or girl?”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “I discovered
    the colors in the wall that woke
    when spray from the hose
    played on its pocks and warts....”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
