Red Boiling

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or boiling:

    “The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;
    The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
    The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
    And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    “O but we talked at large before
    The sixteen men were shot,
    But who can talk of give and take,
    What should be and what not
    While those dead men are loitering there
    To stir the boiling pot?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
