Dix Hills Fire

Famous quotes containing the words hills and/or fire:

    “He told of the Magnolia, spread
    High as a cloud, high over head!
    The Cypress and her spire;
    MOf flowers that with one scarlet gleam
    Cover a hundred leagues, and seem
    To set the hills on fire.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “Examples are cited by soldiers, of men who have seen the cannon pointed, and the fire given to it, and who have stepped aside from he path of the ball. The terrors of the storm are chiefly confined to the parlour and the cabin.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
