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, its all one, its but a name
Not as late honeysuckle half so stout....”

“The sense of death is most in apprehension,
And the poor beetle that we tread upon
In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great
As when a giant dies.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“So farewell hope, and with hope, farewell fear,
Farewell remorse! All good to me is lost;
Evil, be thou my Good: by thee at least
Divided empire with Heavens King I hold,
By thee, and more than half perhaps will reign;
As Man ere long, and this new World, shall know.”
—John Milton (16081674)
