Joan Vollmer Burroughs

Famous quotes containing the words joan and/or burroughs:

    And that good Joan whom Englishmen
    At Rouen doomed and burned her there,—
    Mother of God, where are they then? . . .
    Francois Villon (1431–1465)

    Cats of all kinds weave in and out of the text; Burroughs has clearly taken to them in a big way in his old age and seems torn between a fear they will betray him into sentimentality and a resigned acceptance that a man can’t be ironic all the time.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)
