Fire Pumps

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or pumps:

    “Not till the fire is dying in the grate,
    Look we for any kinship with the stars.
    Oh, wisdom never comes when it is gold,
    And the great price we paid for it full worth:
    We have it only when we are half earth.
    Little avails that coinage to the old!”
    —George Meredith (1828–1909)

    “the rusty
    Pump pumps over your sweating face the clear
    Water, cold, so cold! you cup your hands
    And gulp from them the dailiness of life.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
