Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or calls:

    “All praise of the hawk on fire in hawk-eyed dusk be sung,
    When his viperish fuse hangs looped with flames under the brand
    Wing, and blest shall
    Young
    Green chickens of the bay and bushes cluck, “dilly dilly,
    Come let us die.””
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “I shun father and mother and wife and brother when my genius calls me. I would write on the lintels of the door-post, Whim. I hope that it is somewhat better than whim at last, but we cannot spend the day in explanation.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
