Famous quotes containing the words island and/or house:

    “The island dreams under the dawn
    And great boughs drop tranquillity;
    The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
    A parrot sways upon a tree,
    Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The mortgage is still in our name but, increasingly, the house is theirs. One diaper, one vote.”
    —Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
