Pompano Beach Fire

Famous quotes containing the words beach and/or fire:

    “There I was dragging the ocean, that knock-out,
    in and out by its bottle-green neck, letting it chew
    the rocks, letting it haul beach glass and furniture sticks
    in and out.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “There was the murdered corpse, in covert laid,
    And violent death in thousand shapes displayed;
    The city to the soldier’s rage resigned;
    Successless wars, and poverty behind;
    Ships burnt in fight, or forced on rocky shores,
    And the rash hunter strangled by the boars;
    The newborn babe by nurses overlaid;
    And the cook caught within the raging fire he made.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
