Magic Window

Famous quotes containing the words magic and/or window:

    Mistress, there are portents abroad of magic and might,
    And things that are yet to be done. Open the door!
    Elizabeth Jane Coatsworth (b. 1893)

    If a man was tossed out of a window when an infant, and so made a cripple for life, or scared out of his wits by the Indians, it is regretted chiefly because he was thus incapacitated for—business! I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself, than this incessant business.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
