Rural Fire

Famous quotes containing the words rural and/or fire:

    “What life is best?
    Courts are but only superficial schools
    To dandle fools:
    The rural parts are turned into a den
    Of savage men:
    And where ‘s a city from all vice so free,
    But may be termed the worst of all the three?”
    —Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    “I warmed both hands before the fire of life;
    It sinks, and I am ready to depart.”
    —Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)
