Famous quotes containing the words house and/or leaves:
“Great geniuses have the shortest biographies. Their cousins can tell you nothing about them. They lived in their writings, and so their house and street life was trivial and commonplace. If you would know their tastes and complexions, the most admiring of their readers most resembles them.”

“And I her son, though summer-born

Am easier when the leaves are gone....”
