Famous quotes containing the word ash:

“For it’s home, dearie, home—it’s home I want to be.

They’re all growing green in the old countrie.”

adjusting the ash heaps;
opening and shutting itself like

an
injured fan.”

the palette, the pen, the quill endure,
though our books are a floor
of smouldering ash under our feet.”
