Famous quotes containing the word table:

    Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. There is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. A table is a table, food is food, we are we—because we don’t question these things. And science is the enemy because it is the questioner. Faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.
    Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)

    When the painted birds laugh in the shade,
    When our table with cherries and nuts is spread:
    Come live, and be merry, and join with me
    To sing the sweet chorus of ‘Ha, ha, he!’
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    Will you greet your doom
    As final; set him loaves and wine; knowing
    The game is finished when he plays his ace,
    And overturn the table and go into the next room?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
