How could I stand by and watch my house on fire?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I get old and slow down I want to look behind me and see all the fire and the wreckage and no stone left unturned.
I could see flames from the windows of my chambers. For the next three or four days we had major rioting here in Washington and I stayed at the court day and night.
If your house is burning, wouldn't you try and put out the fire?
If there was a fire at my house I would throw more things on it. The only thing I would take out? Myself!
I'm cautious about using fire. It can become theatrical. I am interested in the heat, not the flames.
I'd like to be able to light the fire a little bit.
You should see my house. It's sort of explosive. Like a crazy person lives there.
I took out a whole fireplace and put in broken glass and installed a burner underneath, so it looks like fire on ice. I did that in my bedroom suite. I'm pretty handy.
I have a fireplace in my kitchen that I light every night, no matter what.
We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.
