Famous quotes containing the words flame and/or trees:
“Ibsen is like this room where we are sitting, with all the tables and chairs. Do I care whether you have twenty or twenty-five links on your chain? Hedda Gabler, Nora and the rest: it is not that I want! I want Rome and the Coliseum, the Acropolis, Athens; I want beauty, and the flame of life.”
—Eleonora Duse (18591924)
“Bright yellow, red, and orange,
The leaves come down in hosts;
The trees are Indian princes,
But soon theyll turn to ghosts;”
—William Allingham (18241889)
