Portable Houses

Famous quotes containing the words portable and/or houses:

    Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents’ pots and pans—the used things, warm with generations of human touch, ... essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    The houses are haunted
    By white night-gowns.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
