Primary Fire

Famous quotes containing the words primary and/or fire:

“If the accumulated wealth of the past generations is thus tainted,—no matter how much of it is offered to us,—we must begin to consider if it were not the nobler part to renounce it, and to put ourselves in primary relations with the soil and nature, and abstaining from whatever is dishonest and unclean, to take each of us bravely his part, with his own hands, in the manual labor of the world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last
I may without fail
Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.”
