Timber Frame House

Famous quotes containing the words timber, frame and/or house:

    Nothing is so beautiful as spring—
    When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
    Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
    Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
    The ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.
    Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)

    He has seen but half the universe who never has been shown the house of pain.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
