burning upward in dark steady flame
burning me, burning me into healing.”

“Mo Nighean donn," he whispered," mo chridhe. My brown lass, my heart."
Come to me. Cover me. Shelter me. a bhean, heal me. Burn with me, as I burn for you.”

holy roses in my hair.

[Songs of Longing]”

“Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire.
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire?”

“You think I'm not a goddess?
Try me.
This is a torch song.
Touch me and you'll burn.”

“There is no need to carry me to another prison. My life is already ebbing away. I suggest that you nail me to a cross and burn me alive. My flaming body will be a torch to light my people on their path to freedom.”

“You burn with the flames of desire for someone that doesn’t notice or pay attention. Your love affair has not even begun and the flames are now burning into your soul. You can douse the flames; you must first walk away. Only then can you be transformed.”

“When life descends into the pit
I must become my own candle
Willingly burning my self
To light up the darkness around me.”

“Will has always been the brighter burning star, the one to catch attention — but Jem is a steady flame, unwavering and honest. He could make you happy.”

“You can’t burn me.”
