“Of all the ruinous and desolate places my uncle had ever beheld,
this was the most so. It looked as if it had once been a large house
of entertainment; but the roof had fallen in, in many places, and
the stairs were steep, rugged, and broken. There was a huge
fire-place in the room into which they walked, and the chimney was
blackened with smoke; but no warm blaze lighted it up now. The white
feathery dust of burnt wood was still strewed over the hearth, but
the stove was cold, and all was dark and gloomy.” - Charles Dickens
“A cat improves the garden wall in sunshine, and the hearth in foul

With gratitude and hope.—Wordsworth

Steven Wright (1955 - ), Standup Comedy Routine
She lit the fireplace
Her eyes suppressed the fire
Crowded thoughts in inner space
Abandoned plan and no desire...
The winds of life were backing
and we had to come about...
Ablaze by the fireplace...
Ablaze by the fireplace...
Isn't that what life is all about?
Portraits in amber light --
caused by glowing embers
A gentle and revealing night --
in a way each heart remembers...
The winds of life were backing
and we had to come about...
Ablaze by the fireplace...
Ablaze by the fireplace...
Isn't that what life is all about?
He lit the fireplace...
...portraits in an amber light...
...a gentle and revealing night...
stirring the soul --
in a way each heart
remembers...remembers...
Ablaze by the fireplace...
Ablaze by the fireplace...
Isn't that what love is all about?
