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)

    I perceive I have not really understood any thing, not a single
    object, and that no man ever can,
    Nature here in sight of the sea taking advantage of me to dart upon me and sting me,
    Because I have dared to open my mouth to sing at all.
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
