Rural Fire

Famous quotes containing the words rural and/or fire:

Exhilarate the spirit, and restore
The tone of languid Nature.”

“Why I love the ancients so much? Aside from everything else, when I read them, the entire past between them and me unfolds at the same time. The hearts of how many heroes and poets may have been set on fire by Plutarch’s biographies which now inspire me with their own and with borrowed flames!”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
