House Leaves

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or leaves:

    When cups went round at close of day
    Is not that how good stories run?
    The gods were sitting at the board
    In their great house at Slievenamon.
    They sang a drowsy song, or snored,
    For all were full of wine and meat.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Certain branches cut
    certain leaves fallen
    the grapes
    cooked and put up
    for winter
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
