Red Imported Fire

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

    the woman in the ambulance
    Whose red heart blooms through her coat so astoundingly—
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    If the jests that you crack have an orthodox smack,
    You may get a bland smile from these sages;
    But should it, by chance, be imported from France,
    Half-a-crown is stopped out of your wages!
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    And she’d had lucky eyes and a high heart,
    And wisdom that caught fire like the dried flax,
    At need, and made her beautiful and fierce,
    Sudden and laughing.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
