House Dust Mites

Famous quotes containing the words house, dust and/or mites:

    I am cold in this cold house this house
    Whose washed echoes are tremulous down lost halls.
    I am a woman, and dusty, standing among new affairs.
    I am a woman who hurries through her prayers.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    The fly sat upon the axel-tree of the chariot-wheel and said, What a dust do I raise!
    Aesop (6th century B.C.)

    Dead men may envy living mites in cheese,
    Or good germs even. Microbes have their joys,
    And subdivide, and never come to death.
    Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
