Side Sliding Door

Famous quotes containing the words side, sliding and/or door:

    Out flew the web and floated wide;
    The mirror cracked from side to side;
    ‘The curse is come upon me,’ cried
    The Lady of Shalott.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Here at the fountain’s sliding foot,
    Or at some fruit-tree’s mossy root,
    Casting the body’s vest aside,
    My soul into the boughs does glide:
    There, like a bird, it sits and sings,
    Then whets and combs its silver wings,
    And, till prepared for longer flights,
    Waves in its plumes the various light.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    I went back to my work, but now without enthusiasm. I had looked through an open door that I was not willing to see shut upon me. I began to reflect upon life rather seriously for a girl of twelve or thirteen. What was I here for? What could I make of myself? Must I submit to be carried along with the current, and do just what everybody else did?
    Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
