Crown Fires

Famous quotes containing the words crown and/or fires:

“Or shatter too with him my curious frame:
And let these wither, so that he may die,
Though set with Skill and chosen out with Care.
That they, while Thou on both their Spoils dost tread,
May crown thy Feet, that could not crown thy Head.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

“Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
When the last fires will wave to me”
