Famous quotes containing the words burn and/or bags:
“Time and fevers burn away
Individual beauty from
Thoughtful children, and the grave
Proves the child ephemeral:”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“Some dead undid their bushy jaws,
And bags of blood let out their flies;
He had by heart the Christ-cross-row of death.
Sleep navigates the tides of time;
The dry Sargasso of the tomb
Gives up its dead to such a working sea....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
