Metre Rapid Fire

Famous quotes containing the words rapid and/or fire:

    “he dreadful darts
    With rapid glide along the leaning line;

    “Not till the fire is dying in the grate,
    Look we for any kinship with the stars.
    Oh, wisdom never comes when it is gold,

    We have it only when we are half earth.
    Little avails that coinage to the old!”
