Famous quotes containing the word quenched:

    “Deliberate violence is more to be quenched than a fire.”

    “My aspens dear, whose airy cages quelled,
    Quelled or quenched in leaves the leaping sun,
    All felled, felled, are all felled;
    Of a fresh and following folded rank
    Not spared, not one
    That dandled a sandalled
    Shadow that swam or sank
    On meadow and river and wind-wandering weed-winding bank.”
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    “Only if loves fire with the breath
    Of life be kindled, I doubt,
    With our last air ‘twill be breath’d out,
    And quenched with the cold of death.”
    —Edward Herbert (1583–1648)
