Famous quotes containing the word fire:

    “Methinks King Richard and myself should meet
    With no less terror than the elements
    Of fire and water, when their thundering shock
    At meeting tears the cloudy cheeks of heaven.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The fire I praise was once perduring flame
    Till it snuffs with our generation out;
    No matter, it’s all one, it’s but a name
    Not as late honeysuckle half so stout....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last
    I may without fail
    Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
