Flames

Famous quotes containing the word flames:

    “Whilst all the land was ringed with bristling arms
    And flames laid waste our world,
    All that was left me was a little garden
    And thou within it, my beloved, my comrade.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “The more people gathering firewood, the higher the flames will grow.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “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)
