Alfred Moore House

Famous quotes containing the words moore and/or house:

    repression, however, is not the most obvious characteristic of the
    sea;
    the sea is a collector, quick to return a rapacious look.
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    My dwelling was small, and I could hardly entertain an echo in it; but it seemed larger for being a single apartment and remote from neighbors. All the attractions of a house were concentrated in one room; it was kitchen, chamber, parlor, and keeping-room; and whatever satisfaction parent or child, master or servant, derive from living in a house, I enjoyed it all.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
