Famous quotes containing the words burnt and/or pine:
“There was the murdered corpse, in covert laid,
And violent death in thousand shapes displayed;
The city to the soldier’s rage resigned;
Successless wars, and poverty behind;
Ships burnt in fight, or forced on rocky shores,
And the rash hunter strangled by the boars;
The newborn babe by nurses overlaid;
And the cook caught within the raging fire he made.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“Lodgepole
coneseed waits for fire
And then thin forests of silver-grey.
in the void
a pine cone falls”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
