Alfred Moore House

Famous quotes containing the words moore and/or house:

    With its baby rivers and little towns, each with its abbey or its cathedral,
    with voices—one voice perhaps, echoing through the transept—The
    criterion of suitability and convenience.
    —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)
