Fire Whitman

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or whitman:

    “When there was no more lantern in the kitchen,
    The fire got out through crannies in the stove
    And danced in yellow wrigglers on the ceiling,
    As much at home as if they’d always danced there.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The young men float on their backs, their white bellies bulge to
    the sun, they do not ask who seizes fast to them,
    They do not know who puffs and declines with pendant and bending arch,
    They do not think whom they souse with spray.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
