Hole Burning

Famous quotes containing the words hole and/or burning:

    I see the horses and the sad streets
    Of my childhood in an agate eye
    Roving, under the clean sheets,
    Over a black hole in the sky.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The boy stood on the burning deck,
    Whence all but he had fled;
    The flame that lit the battle’s wreck,
    Shone round him o’er the dead.

    Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
    As born to rule the storm;
    A creature of heroic blood,
    A proud though childlike form.
    Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
