Famous quotes containing the words world and/or flames:
“Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1855–1919)
“And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
