Box Volume

Famous quotes containing the words box and/or volume:

“A box of teak, a box of sandalwood,
A brass-ringed spyglass in a case,
A coin, leaf-thin with many polishings,
Last kingdom of a gold forgotten face,
These lie about the room....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages.”
