Frozen Flame

Famous quotes containing the words frozen and/or flame:

    Westminster Abbey is nature crystallized into a conventional form by man, with his sorrows, his joys, his failures, and his seeking for the Great Spirit. It is a frozen requiem, with a nation’s prayer ever in dumb music ascending.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    At Delphi I prayed
    to Apollo
    that he maintain in me
    the flame of the poem
    and I drank of the brackish
    spring there....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
