Famous quotes containing the word ashes:
“Surely, of all creatures we eat, we are most brutal to snails. Helix optera is dug out of the earth where he has been peacefully enjoying his summer sleep, cracked like an egg, and eaten raw, presumably alive. Or boiled in oil. Or roasted in the hot ashes of a wood fire.... If God is a snail, Boschs depictions of Hell are going to look like a vicarage tea-party.”
—Angela Carter (19401992)
“But he though blind of sight,
Despisd and thought extinguisht quite,
With inward eyes illuminated
His fierie vertue rouzd
From under ashes into sudden flame,
And as an evning Dragon came,”
—John Milton (16081674)
“The gale, it plies the saplings double,
It blows so hard, twill soon be gone:
To-day the Roman and his trouble
Are ashes under Uricon.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
