Fire Whitman

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or whitman:

    You can much sooner dry you by such a fire as you can make in the woods than in anybody’s kitchen, the fireplace is so much larger, and wood so much more abundant.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    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)
