Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or resisting:

“Your eyes were frosted starlight,
Your heart fire and snow.
Who was it said, “I love you”?
Alice: Mother, let me go!”

“or the warm soft side
Of the resigning yet resisting bride.
The kiss of virgins first-fruits of the bed;
Soft speech, smooth touch, the lips, the maidenhead;
These and a thousand sweets could never be
So near or dear as thou wast once to me.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
