Houses Mount

Famous quotes containing the words houses and/or mount:

    Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
    And all that mighty heart is lying still!
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
    Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
    If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
    And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
