Famous quotes containing the words fire, giant and/or king:
“I haven’t much opinion of words.... They’re apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that’s what I say.”

“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)
“Never alone
Did the King sigh, but with a general groan.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
