Burns

Famous quotes containing the word burns:

    An evil moon bleeds drops of death.
    The earth burns brown.
    Grass shrivels and dries to a yellowish mass.
    Earth wears a dun-colored dress
    like an old woman wooing the sun to be her lover,
    be her sweetheart and her husband bound in one.
    Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)

    To see her is to love her,
    And love but her for ever;
    For Nature made her what she is,
    And never made anither!
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    There’s nought but care on ev’ry han’,
    In ev’ry hour that passes, O:
    What signifies the life o’ man,
    An’ ‘twere na for the lasses, O.
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
