Famous quotes containing the words floor and/or replaced:
“Before she has her floor swept
Or her dishes done.
Any day you’ll find her
A-sunning in the sun!”

“... the girls who came at dawn
To pay a visit to the young child, and how, when he grew up to be a man
The same restive ceremony replaced the limited years between,
Only now he was old, and forced to begin the journey to the sun.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
