Empty Row

Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or row:

“The empty woman took toys!
In her sisters’ homes
Were little girls and boys.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“And, indeed, is there not something holy about a great kitchen?... The scoured gleam of row upon row of metal vessels dangling from hooks or reposing on their shelves till needed with the air of so many chalices waiting for the celebration of the sacrament of food. And the range like an altar, yes, before which my mother bowed in perpetual homage, a fringe of sweat upon her upper lip and the fire glowing in her cheeks.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
