Earth Quotes

“Wake ere the burst of the great white sun     Into the blazing skies,     Our limbs are stiff and the lids are gummed     Over our blighted eyes.     But our souls have perished in dust and heat,     And this is the tale we tell,     Our lives are ever a grim retreat     With Death on the roofs of hell.   from Out on the Roof of Hell, by Henry Lawson”
― William Esmont, Earth
