Ancestral House

Famous quotes containing the words ancestral and/or house:

    The ancestral deed is thought and done,
    And in a million Edens fall
    A million Adams drowned in darkness,
    For small is great and great is small,
    And a blind seed all.
    Edwin Muir (1887–1959)

    Long time he lay upon the sunny hill,
    To his father’s house below securely bound.
    Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
