Swell Window

Famous quotes containing the words swell and/or window:

    Draw up the dew. Swell with pacific violence.
    Take shape in silence. Grow as the clouds grew.
    Beautiful brood the cornlands, and you are heavy;
    Leafy the boughs—they also hide big fruit.
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    If a man was tossed out of a window when an infant, and so made a cripple for life, or scared out of his wits by the Indians, it is regretted chiefly because he was thus incapacitated for—business! I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself, than this incessant business.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
