Fire Giant King

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

    The fire I praise was once perduring flame
    Till it snuffs with our generation out;
    No matter, it’s all one, it’s but a name
    Not as late honeysuckle half so stout....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Haze, char, and the weather of All Souls:
    A giant absence mopes upon the trees:
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    And this is law, I will maintain,
    Until my dying day, Sir,
    That whatsoever king shall reign,
    I’ll be the Vicar of Bray, Sir.
    —Unknown. The Vicar of Bray (l. 9–12)
