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.”

Till it snuffs with our generation out;
No matter, its all one, its but a name
Not as late honeysuckle half so stout....”

I may without fail
Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.”
