Stoves

Famous quotes containing the word stoves:

“In winter we lead a more inward life. Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts, whose windows and doors are half concealed, but from whose chimneys the smoke cheerfully ascends.... We enjoy now, not an Oriental, but a Boreal leisure, around warm stoves and fireplaces, and watch the shadow of motes in the sunbeams.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“We do not suspect how much our chimneys have concealed; and now air-tight stoves have come to conceal all the rest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
