Barnes Tavern

Famous quotes containing the words barnes and/or tavern:

    We are beginning to wonder whether a servant girl hasn’t the best of it after all. She knows how the salad tastes without the dressing, and she knows how life’s lived before it gets to the parlor door.
    —Djuna Barnes (1892–1982)

    At a tavern hereabouts the hostler greeted our horse as an old acquaintance, though he did not remember the driver.... Every man to his trade. I am not acquainted with a single horse in the world, not even the one that kicked me.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
