Burn Hall

Famous quotes containing the words burn and/or hall:

    Most souls, ‘tis true, but peep out once an age,
    Dull sullen pris’ners in the body’s cage:
    Dim lights of life, that burn a length of years,
    Useless, unseen, as lamps in sepulchres;
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    The actors today really need the whip hand. They’re so lazy. They haven’t got the sense of pride in their profession that the less socially elevated musical comedy and music hall people or acrobats have. The theater has never been any good since the actors became gentlemen.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
