Rome Burns

Famous quotes containing the words rome and/or burns:

    I only know how this untimely lust has tossed
    flesh at the wind forever and moved my fears
    toward the intimate Rome of the myth we crossed.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Ev’n thou who mourn’st the Daisy’s fate,
    That fate is thine—no distant date;
    Stern Ruin’s ploughshare drives , elate,
    Full on thy bloom,
    Till crush’d beneath the furrow’s weight,
    Shall be thy doom.
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
