Fiery

Famous quotes containing the word fiery:

    “What potent blood hath modest May;
    What fiery force the earth renews,
    The wealth of forms, the flush of hues;
    Joy shed in rosy waves abroad
    Flows from the heart of Love, the Lord.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “For she had fiery blood
    When I was young,
    And trod so sweetly proud
    As ‘twere upon a cloud,
    A woman Homer sung....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “And such the trust that still were mine,
    Though stormy winds swept o’er the brine,
    Or though the tempest’s fiery breath
    Roused me from sleep to wreck and death.
    In ocean cave, still safe with Thee
    The germ of immortality!
    And calm and peaceful shall I sleep,
    Rocked in the cradle of the deep.”
    —Emma Hart Willard (1787–1870)
