House Leaves

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or leaves:

    It is getting dark and time he drew to a house,
    But the blizzard blinds him to any house ahead.
    The storm gets down his neck in any icy souse
    That sucks his breath like a wicked cat in bed.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    How could it be so fair, and you away?
    How could the Trees be beauteous, Flowers so gay?
    Could they remember but last year,
    How you did Them, They you delight,
    The sprouting leaves which saw you here,
    And call’d their Fellows to the sight,
    Would, looking round for the same sight in vain,
    Creep back into their silent Barks again.
    Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
