Piece Exit Doors

Famous quotes containing the words piece, exit and/or doors:

    It is not a piece of fine feminine Spitalfields silk—but is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships’ cables & hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book—on risk of a lumbago & sciatics.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Exit the mental moonlight, exit lex,
    Rex and principium, exit the whole
    Shebang. Exeunt omnes. Here was prose
    More exquisite than any tumbling verse:
    A still new continent in which to dwell.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The host, the housekeeper, it is
    who fails you. He had forgotten
    to make room for you at the hearth
    or set a place for you at the table
    or leave the doors unlocked for you.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
