Famous quotes containing the words fame, blue and/or flames:

    That land is like an Eagle, whose young gaze
    Feeds on the noontide beam, whose golden plume
    Floats moveless on the storm, and in the blaze
    Of sunrise gleams when Earth is wrapped in gloom;
    An epitaph of glory for the tomb
    Of murdered Europe may thy fame be made,
    Great People! as the sands shalt thou become;
    Thy growth is swift as morn, when night must fade;
    The multitudinous Earth shall sleep beneath thy shade.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    She liked the blue drapes. They made a star
    At the angle. A boy in leather moved in.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Whatever flames upon the night
    Man’s own resinous heart has fed.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
