Famous quotes containing the words john and/or burns:

    Think of what our Nation stands for,
    Books from Boots’ and country lanes,
    Free speech, free passes, class distinction,
    Democracy and proper drains.
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    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)
