Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or ant:

    Where the world ends
    The mind is made unchanging, for it finds
    Miracle, ecstasy, the impossible hope,
    The flagstone under all, the fire of fires,
    The roots of the world.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The owl is abroad, the bat and the toad,
    And so is the cat-a-mountain;
    The ant and the mole sit both in a hole,
    And frog peeps out o’ the fountain.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
