Famous quotes containing the word fire:

    his lips meet mine, and a flood
    Of sweet fire sweeps across me, so I drown
    Against him, die and find death good.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    And new Philosophy calls all in doubt,
    The element of fire is quite put out;
    The Sun is lost, and th’earth, and no mans wit
    Can well direct him where to look for it.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    You can much sooner dry you by such a fire as you can make in the woods than in anybody’s kitchen, the fireplace is so much larger, and wood so much more abundant.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
