Red Imported Fire

Famous quotes containing the words red, imported and/or fire:

    they burned Joan
    and many, and many,
    burned at the stake,
    peeling their skin off,
    boiling their good red blood,
    their hearts like eggs....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Surely there must be some way to find a husband or, for that matter, merely an escort, without sacrificing one’s privacy, self-respect, and interior decorating scheme. For example, men could be imported from the developing countries, many parts of which are suffering from a man excess, at least in relation to local food supply.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    his lips meet mine, and a flood
    Of sweet fire sweeps across me, so I drown
    Against him, die and find death good.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
