“The mountain is awake, with utteranceOf flame and burning rock and thunderous sound-Abode of the ancestral spirits who danceIn blissful fire! Tremors run through the groundAnd through men's hearts. The people stand dismayedBy prophecies as mantic ghosts invadeWith alien voice the soothsayers in their trance.”

“Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees.”

“All night I dreamt of bonfires and burn piles and ghosts of men, and spirits behind those birds of flame. I cannot tell anymore when a door opens or closes, I can only hear the frame saying, Walk through.”

“The Gospel is not an old, old story, freshly told. It is a fire in the Spirit, fed by the flame of Immortal Love; and woe unto us, if through our negligence to stir up the Gift of God which is within us, that fire burns low.”

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will flame kindle upon you.”

“A woman would run through fire and water for such a kind heart.”
