Smokeless Powders

Famous quotes containing the words smokeless and/or powders:

    To warm the frozen swamp as best it could
    With the slow smokeless burning of decay.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Ask me no more where Jove bestows,
    When June is past, the fading rose;
    For in your beauty’s orient deep
    These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.

    Ask me no more whither do stray
    The golden atoms of the day;
    For in pure love heaven did prepare
    Those powders to enrich your hair.
    Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
