Fire Whitman

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or whitman:

“Is not prayer also a study of truth,—a sally of the soul into the unfound infinite? No man ever prayed heartily, without learning something. But when a faithful thinker, resolute to detach every object from personal relations, and see it in the light of thought, shall, at the same time, kindle science with the fire of the holiest affections, then will God go forth anew into creation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“I dote on myself, there is that lot of me and all so luscious.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
