Raised Roof

Famous quotes containing the words raised and/or roof:

“If any mention was made of homicide, madness, adultery, and intolerable tortures, we would let the church-bells ring louder, the church-organ swell its peal and drown the hideous sound. The sugar they raised was excellent: nobody tasted blood in it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The roof of England fell
Great Paris tolled her bell
And China staunched her milk and wept for bread”
