Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or chamber:
“And the empty pages?
Should they ever be filled
Let it be with observed
Celestial recurrences....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“O birds, your perfect virtues bring,
Your song, your forms, your rhythmic flight,
Your manners for your heart’s delight,
Nestle in hedge, or barn, or roof,
Here weave your chamber weather-proof,
Forgive our harms, and condescend
To man, as to a lubber friend,
And, generous, teach his awkward race
Courage, and probity, and grace!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
