Burning Quotes

Rome is burning, Jesus says. Drop your fiddle, change your life and come to Me.

Steal o'er the lake's warm breast,
And the ancient silence follows
The burning sun to rest. The calm of a thousand summers,
And dreams of countless Junes,
Return when the lake-wind murmurs
Through golden August noons.
