Pile Carpet

Famous quotes containing the words pile and/or carpet:

“it was older sure than this year’s cutting,
Or even last year’s or the year’s before.
The wood was gray and the bark warping off it
And the pile somewhat sunken. Clematis
Had wound strings round and round it like a bundle.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“There are lots of things that you can brush under the carpet about yourself until you’re faced with somebody whose needs won’t be put off.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
