Famous quotes containing the words burns and/or fellowship:

    “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)

    “Blest be the tie that binds
    Our hearts in Christian love;
    The fellowship of kindred minds
    Is like to that above.”
    —John Fawcett (1739/40–1817)
