Timber Frame House

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

    Green springs the tree, hemp grows, the wag is wild,
    But when they meet, it makes the timber rot;
    It frets the halter, and it chokes the child.
    Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)

    He drew the curse upon the world, and cracked
    The whole frame with his fall.
    This made him long for home, as loth to stay
    With murmurers and foes;
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    You made us in the House of Pain. You made us things. Not men, not beasts, part-man, part-beast: things.
