Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or walking:
“I sometimes left a good fire when I went to take a walk in a winter afternoon; and when I returned, three or four hours afterward, it would be still alive and glowing. My house was not empty though I was gone. It was as if I had left a cheerful housekeeper behind. It was I and Fire that lived there; and commonly my housekeeper proved trustworthy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... never, walking away
As light fails, to notice the first star
Pulsing alone in a long shell-coloured sky....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
