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.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Like to the Artick needle, that doth guide
The wandring shade by his magnetick powr,
And leaves his silken Gnomon to decide
The question of the controverted houre;”
