Famous quotes containing the words field and/or house:

    “Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow!
    Through the windows—through doors—burst like a ruthless force,
    Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation;
    Into the school where the scholar is studying;
    Leave not the bridegroom quiet—no happiness must he have now with his bride;
    Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, plough his field or gathering his
    grain;
    So fierce you whirr and pound, you drums—so shrill you bugles blow.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “In a house where there are small children the bathroom soon takes on the appearance of the Old Curiosity Shop.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
