Famous quotes containing the word blazing:
“The windy springs and the blazing summers, one after another, had enriched and mellowed that flat tableland; all the human effort that had gone into it was coming back in long, sweeping lines of fertility. The changes seemed beautiful and harmonious to me; it was like watching the growth of a great man or of a great idea. I recognized every tree and sandbank and rugged draw. I found that I remembered the conformation of the land as one remembers the modelling of human faces.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Glittering generalities! They are blazing ubiquities!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Death of the self in a long, tearless night,
All natural shapes blazing unnatural light.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
