Door

Famous quotes containing the word door:

“Still grows the vivacious lilac a generation after the door and lintel and the sill are gone, unfolding its sweet-scented flowers each spring, to be plucked by the musing traveller; planted and tended once by children’s hands, in front-yard plots,—now standing by wall-sides in retired pastures, and giving place to new-rising forests;Mthe last of that stirp, sole survivor of that family.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“... the door that nobody else will go in at, seems always to swing open widely for me.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)

“I know, although when looks meet
I tremble to the bone,
The more I leave the door unlatched
The sooner love is gone....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
