Stern Room

Famous quotes containing the words stern and/or room:

    “The rich earth, of its own self made rich,
    Fertile of its own leaves and days and wars,
    Of its brown wheat rapturous in the wind,
    The nature of its women in the air,
    The stern voices of its necessitous men,
    This chorus as of those that wanted to live.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “I cannot halt
    The tread, the beat of it, it is my own heart,
    The walls of my room rise, it is still night,
    I have woken again before the word was spelt.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
