Cold Flames

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or flames:

    The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap
    Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge
    Through living roots awaken in my head.
    But I’ve no spade to follow men like them.
    Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    Would martyrs have sung in the flames for a mere inference, however inevitable it might be?
    William James (1842–1910)
