Famous quotes containing the word ashes:

    “But he though blind of sight,
    Despis’d and thought extinguish’t quite,
    With inward eyes illuminated
    His fierie vertue rouz’d
    From under ashes into sudden flame,
    And as an ev’ning Dragon came,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “My father’s ashes are not yet interred. ... strangely, I find the fact that he isn’t properly laid to rest helps me when I’m doing this play.”
    —Lynn Redgrave (b. 1943)

    “We too are ashes as we watch and hear
    The psalm, the sorrow, and the simple praise
    Of one whose promised thoughts of other days
    Were such as ours, but now wholly destroyed,
    The service record of his youth wiped out,
    His dream dispersed by shot, must disappear.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
