House Leaves

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or leaves:

“Shall I still be love’s house on the widdershin earth,
Woe to the windy masons at my shelter?
Love’s house, they answer, and the tower death
Lie all unknowing of the grave sin-eater.”

Whether or not we use it, it goes,
And leaves what something hidden from us chose,
And age, and then the only end of age.”
