Famous quotes containing the words shell and/or guns:
“How then can we account for the persistence of the myth that inside the empty nest lives a shattered and depressed shell of a womana woman in constant pain because her children no longer live under her roof? Is it possible that a notion so pervasive is, in fact, just a myth?”

“Again the guns disturbed the hour,
Roaring their readiness to avenge,
As far inland a Stourton Tower,
And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge.”
—Thomas Hardy (18401928)
