Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or circles:
“Their beauty sets them aside
from other men and from women
unless a woman has that cold fire in her
called poet....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Before the birth of the New Woman the country was not an intellectual desert, as she is apt to suppose. There were teachers of the highest grade, and libraries, and countless circles in our towns and villages of scholarly, leisurely folk, who loved books, and music, and Nature, and lived much apart with them. The mad craze for money, which clutches at our souls to-day as la grippe does at our bodies, was hardly known then.”
—Rebecca Harding Davis (1831–1910)
