Haunted Houses

Famous quotes containing the words haunted and/or houses:

    I am haunted by numberless islands, many a Danaan shore,
    Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more;
    Soon far from the rose and the lily and fret of the flames would we be,
    Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There is the rich quarter, with its houses of pink and white, and
    its crumbling, leafy terraces.
    There is the poorer quarter, its homes a deep blue.
    There is the market, where men are selling hats and swatting flies
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
