Timber Frame House

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

    This fellow will but join you together as they join
    wainscot; then one of you will prove a shrunk panel, and
    like green timber warp, warp.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Predictions of the future are never anything but projections of present automatic processes and procedures, that is, of occurrences that are likely to come to pass if men do not act and if nothing unexpected happens; every action, for better or worse, and every accident necessarily destroys the whole pattern in whose frame the prediction moves and where it finds its evidence.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    Shall I still be love’s house on the widdershin earth,
    Woe to the windy masons at my shelter?
    Love’s house, they answer, and the tower death
    Lie all unknowing of the grave sin-eater.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
