Door

Famous quotes containing the word door:

“So summer comes in the end to these few stains
And the rust and rot of the door through which she went.
The house is empty. But here is where she sat
To comb her dewy hair, a touchless light,
Perplexed by its darker iridescences.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“I always have felt strange when we came home
To the dark house after so long an absence,
And the key rattled loudly into place
Seemed to warn someone to be getting out
At one door as we entered at another.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Education has become a prisoner of contemporaneity. It is the past, not the dizzy present, that is the best door to the future.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
