Famous quotes containing the words burst and/or angel:
“and wait and watch until
The fattening dots burst into nimble-
Swimming tadpoles.”

“Yet I am the necessary angel of earth,
Since, in my sight, you see the earth again,
Cleared of its stiff and stubborn, man-locked set,
And, in my hearing, you hear its tragic drone
Rise liquidly in liquid lingerings....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
