Bronze Doors

Famous quotes containing the words bronze and/or doors:

    “Ask us, ask us whether with the worldless rose
    Our hearts shall fail us; come demanding
    Whether there shall be lofty or long standing
    When the bronze annals of the oak-tree close.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “The host, the housekeeper, it is
    who fails you. He had forgotten
    to make room for you at the hearth
    or set a place for you at the table
    or leave the doors unlocked for you.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
