Famous quotes containing the words dow and/or house:

    The woman was old and ragged and gray
    And bent with the chill of the Winter’s day.
    —Mary Dow Brine (1816–1913)

    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)
