Burns

Famous quotes containing the word burns:

    What’s done we partly may compute,

    Let them cant about decorum Who have characters to lose!
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Unmeasured power, incredible passion, enormous craft: no thought
    apparent but burns darkly
    Smothered with its own smoke in the human brain-vault: no thought
    outside; a certain measure in phenomena:
    The fountains of the boiling stars, the flowers on the foreland, the
    ever-returning roses of dawn.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
