Famous quotes containing the words huntley, fire and/or protection:
“Ye say they all have passed away,
That noble race and brave;
That their light canoes have vanished
From off the crested wave;
That, mid the forests where they roamed,
There rings no hunters’ shout;
But their name is on your waters,
Ye may not wash it out.”
—Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)

Your heart fire and snow.
Who was it said, “I love you”?
Alice: Mother, let me go!”
