Famous quotes containing the words gas and/or house:
“Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,
Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,
I heard a Negro play.
Down on Lenox Avenue the other night
By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light”
—Langston Hughes (19021967)
“In my grandmothers house there was always chicken soup
And talk of the old countrymud and boards,
Poverty,
The snow falling down and necks of lovers.”
—Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
