Famous quotes containing the words household and/or division:

    has Nature shown
    her household books to you, daughter-in-law,
    that her sons never saw?
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    That crazed girl improvising her music,
    Her poetry, dancing upon the shore,
    Her soul in division from itself
    Climbing, falling she knew not where,
    Hiding amid the cargo of a steamship
    Her knee-cap broken.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
