Red Imported Fire

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

    He gets red roses in different places,
    the head, that time he was as sleepy as a river,
    the back, that time he was a broken scarecrow,
    the arm like a diamond had bitten it,
    the leg, twisted like a licorice stick....
    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)

    Oh! that thy love might overflow my Heart!
    To fire the same with Love: for Love I would.
    But oh! my streight’ned Breast! my Lifeless Sparke!
    My Fireless Flame! What Chilly Love, and Cold?
    In measure small! In Manner Chilly! See!
    Lord, blow the Coal: Thy Love Enflame in mee.
    Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
