    “The monkeys winked too much and were afraid of snakes. The zebras,

    and strictly practical appendages”
    —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)
