Fire Helmet Front

Famous quotes containing the words fire, helmet and/or front:

    “There was the murdered corpse, in covert laid,
    And violent death in thousand shapes displayed;
    The city to the soldier’s rage resigned;
    Successless wars, and poverty behind;
    Ships burnt in fight, or forced on rocky shores,
    And the rash hunter strangled by the boars;
    The newborn babe by nurses overlaid;
    And the cook caught within the raging fire he made.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    “It’s very hot,
    And weighs a lot,
    As many a guardsman knows,
    So off that helmet goes.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “No one is promiscuous in his way of dying. A man who has decided to hang himself will never jump in front of a train.”
    —A. Alvarez (b. 1929)
