Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or moon:
“Not till the fire is dying in the grate,
Look we for any kinship with the stars.
Oh, wisdom never comes when it is gold,
And the great price we paid for it full worth:
We have it only when we are half earth.
Little avails that coinage to the old!”
—George Meredith (1828–1909)
“The moon is a sow
and grunts in my throat
Her great shining shines through me”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
