Shed Dormer

Famous quotes containing the words shed and/or dormer:

    Wandering between two worlds, one dead,
    The other powerless to be born,
    With nowhere yet to rest my head,
    Like these, on earth I wait forlorn.
    Their faith, my tears, the world deride—
    I come to shed them at their side.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    Deafness produces bizarre effects, reversing the natural order of things; the interchange of letters is the conversation of the deaf, and the only link with society. I would be in despair, for instance, over seeing you speak, but, instead, I am only too happy to hear you write.
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
