Fire Giant King

Famous quotes containing the words fire, giant and/or king:

    And she’d had lucky eyes and a high heart,
    And wisdom that caught fire like the dried flax,
    At need, and made her beautiful and fierce,
    Sudden and laughing.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    In frames as large as rooms that face all ways
    And block the ends of streets with giant loaves,
    Screen graves with custard, cover slums with praise
    Of motor-oil and cuts of salmon, shine
    Perpetually these sharply-pictured groves
    Of how life should be.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    A king should die on his feet.
    Louis XVIII (1755–1824)
