« All quotes from this author
 

The fire upon the hearth is low,
And there is stillness everywhere,
And, like winged spirits, here and there
The firelight shadows fluttering go.
--
In the Firelight.

Languishes loudly. A cinder
Falls, and the shadows
Lurch to the leap of the flame.

 
William Ernest Henley
 

A clear fire, a clean hearth, and the rigor of the game.

 
Charles Lamb
 

I secretly understood: the primitive appeal of the hearth. Television is — its irresistible charm — a fire.

 
John Updike
 

White sail upon the ocean verge,
Just crimsoned by the setting sun,
Thou hast thy port beyond the surge,
Thy happy homeward course to run
And winged hope, with heart of fire,
To gain the bliss of thy desire.

 
William (author) Winter
 

Do not speak to us of the greatness of poetry,
Of the torches wisping in the underground,
Of the structure of vaults upon a point of light.
There are no shadows in our sun,
Day is desire and night is sleep.
There are no shadows anywhere.
The earth, for us, is flat and bare.
There are no shadows.

 
Wallace Stevens
