Burns

Famous quotes containing the word burns:

“The social, friendly, honest man, Whate’er he be,
‘Tis he fulfils great Nature’s plan, And none but he.”

“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)

“Think, when your castigated pulse
Gies now and then a wallop,
What ragings must his veins convulse,
That still eternal gallop:”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
