Famous quotes containing the words commonly and/or sung:
“I sometimes left a good fire when I went to take a walk in a winter afternoon; and when I returned, three or four hours afterward, it would be still alive and glowing. My house was not empty though I was gone. It was as if I had left a cheerful housekeeper behind. It was I and Fire that lived there; and commonly my housekeeper proved trustworthy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I have sung all night
for the mouths that float back later,
one by one,
holding a lady’s wornout shoe.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
