Famous quotes containing the words meeting and/or house:
“They had met, and included in their meeting the thrust of the manifold grass stems, the cry of the peewit, the wheel of the stars.”

And door succeeds door;
I try the fresh fortune—
Range the wide house from the wing to the centre,
Still the same chance! she goes out as I enter.
Spend my whole day in the quest,—who cares?”
