Left Open

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or open:

“I sometimes left a good fire when I went to take a walk in a winter afternoon; and when I returned, three or four hours afterward, it would be still alive and glowing. My house was not empty though I was gone. It was as if I had left a cheerful housekeeper behind. It was I and Fire that lived there; and commonly my housekeeper proved trustworthy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Through open doors, the dining-room declares
A larger loneliness of knives and glass
And silence laid like carpet.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
