Months House Arrest

Famous quotes containing the words months, house and/or arrest:

    The things men come to eat when they are alone are, I suppose, not much stranger than the men themselves.... A writer years ago told me of living for five months on hen mash.

    The house seems heavier
    Now that they have gone away.
    In fact it emptied in record time.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Let me arrest thy thoughts; wonder with me,
    Why plowing, building, ruling and the rest,
    Or most of those arts, whence our lives are blest,
    By cursed Cain’s race invented be,
    And blest Seth vexed us with Astronomie.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
