Fire Whitman

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or whitman:

    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)

    Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,
    Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,
    Strong and content I travel the open road.
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
