Fired Power Plants

Famous quotes containing the words fired, power and/or plants:

    See where she comes, and smell how all the street,
    Breathes vineyards and pomegranates: oh, how sweet!
    As a fired altar is each stone,
    Perspiring pounded cinnamon.
    The phoenix-nest,
    Built up of odours, burneth in her breast.
    Who therein would not consume
    His soul to ash-heaps in that rich perfume,
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    Will power is only the tensile strength of one’s own disposition. One cannot increase it by a single ounce.
    Cesare Pavese (1908–1950)

    Luxurious Man, to bring his Vice in use,
    Did after him the World seduce:
    And from the fields the Flow’rs and Plants allure,
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
