Flames

Famous quotes containing the word flames:

    “Sole and self-commanded works,
    Fears not undermining days,
    Grows by decays,
    And, by the famous might that lurks
    In reaction and recoil,
    Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “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)

    “Whatever flames upon the night
    Man’s own resinous heart has fed.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
