And while she was fire, So fierce and so wild, I could only hope to be for her; The forests and the winds to carry her flame.

About This Quote

These lines from the Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem, "The Fire-Worshippers," describe the inescapable and yet beautiful connection between a woman and the power of nature. The image in my mind is of a fiery-haired woman, her eyes ablaze with passion and fire, looking deeply into the eyes of a man who is gazing into her eyes. While they are each focused on one another, they are also connected to one another. They are like the forests and the winds, which carry their flame.
