Flames

Famous quotes containing the word flames:

“Kick up the fire, and let the flames break loose
To drive the shadows back;
Prolong the talk on this or that excuse....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“I am haunted by numberless islands, many a Danaan shore,
Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more;
Soon far from the rose and the lily and fret of the flames would we be,
Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Out of a grave I come to tell you this,
Out of a grave I come to quench the kiss
That flames upon your forehead with a glow
That blinds you to the way that you must go.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
