Famous quotes containing the words river and/or burn:

    “The river sweats
    Oil and tar
    The barges drift
    With the turning tide”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Some burn damp faggots, others may consume
    The entire combustible world in one small room
    As though dried straw, and if we turn about
    The bare chimney is gone black out
    Because the work had finished in that flare.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
