Fire Rhythm Love

Famous quotes containing the words fire, rhythm and/or love:

    Bare night is best. Bare earth is best. Bare, bare,
    Except for our own houses, huddled low
    Beneath the arches and their spangled air,
    Beneath the rhapsodies of fire and fire,
    Where the voice that is in us makes a true response....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    I remember the stink of the liverwurst.
    How I was put on a platter and laid
    between the mayonnaise and the bacon.
    The rhythm of the refrigerator
    had been disturbed.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    this man, this Douglass, this former slave, this Negro
    beaten to his knees, exiled, visioning a world
    where none is lonely, none hunted, alien,
    this man, superb in love and logic, this man
    shall be remembered.
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
