Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or fire:
“Time in the hand is not control of time,
Nor shattered fragments of an instrument
A proof against the wind; the wind will rise,
We can only close the shutters.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume.”
