Includes Youth Fire

Famous quotes containing the words includes, youth and/or fire:

    And me happiest when I compose poems:
    Love, power, the huzza of battle
    are something, are much:
    yet a poem includes them like a pool
    water and reflection.
    Irving Layton (b. 1912)

    His golden locks time hath to silver turned;
    O time too swift, O swiftness never ceasing!
    His youth ‘gainst time and age hath ever spurned,
    But spurned in vain; youth waneth by increasing.
    Beauty, strength, youth are flowers but fading seen;
    Duty, faith, love are roots, and ever green.
    George Peele (1559–1596)

    Oh! that thy love might overflow my Heart!
    To fire the same with Love: for Love I would.
    But oh! my streight’ned Breast! my Lifeless Sparke!
    My Fireless Flame! What Chilly Love, and Cold?
    In measure small! In Manner Chilly! See!
    Lord, blow the Coal: Thy Love Enflame in mee.
    Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
