Word Burst

Famous quotes containing the words word and/or burst:

“Like two doomed ships that pass in storm
We had crossed each other’s way:
But we made no sign, we said no word,
We had no word to say;”

MAnd yet so beautiful, I watched in vain
To see the mast burst open with a rose,
And the whole deck put on its leaves again.”
