Famous quotes containing the words fire, giant and/or king:
“The fire in leaf and grass
so green it seems
each summer the last summer.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“In frames as large as rooms that face all ways
And block the ends of streets with giant loaves,
Screen graves with custard, cover slums with praise
Of motor-oil and cuts of salmon, shine
Perpetually these sharply-pictured groves
Of how life should be.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Time’s the king of men;
He’s both their parent and he is their grave,
And gives them what he will, not what they crave.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
