Word Burst

Famous quotes containing the words word and/or burst:

    When daisies pied and violets blue,
    And lady-smocks, all silver-white,
    And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
    Do paint the meadows with delight,
    The cuckoo then on every tree
    Mocks married men, for thus sings he:
    Cuckoo!
    Cuckoo, cuckoo—O word of fear,
    Unpleasing to a married ear.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There came a burst of thunder sound;
    The boy—Oh! where was he?
    MAsk of the winds, that far around
    With fragments strewed the sea;—
    Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
