Famous quotes containing the word blaze:

“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“When beggars die there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
