Fire Whitman

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or whitman:

“Your eyes were frosted starlight,
Your heart fire and snow.
Who was it said, “I love you”?
Alice: Mother, let me go!”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)

“Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow!
Through the windows—through doors—burst like a ruthless force,
Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation;
Into the school where the scholar is studying;
Leave not the bridegroom quiet—no happiness must he have now with his bride;
Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, plough his field or gathering his
grain;
So fierce you whirr and pound, you drums—so shrill you bugles blow.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
