Famous quotes containing the words surface and/or fires:
“Nature centres into balls,
And her proud ephemerals,
Fast to surface and outside,
Scan the profile of the sphere;
Knew they what that signified,
A new genesis were here.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Vanquished, led in irons, consumed by regrets, burnt by more fires than I ever lit.”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
