Eastern Carpenter

Famous quotes containing the words eastern and/or carpenter:

    But we are spirits of another sort.
    I with the morning’s love have oft made sport,
    And like a forester the groves may tread
    Even till the eastern gate, all fiery-red,
    Opening on Neptune with fair blessèd beams,
    Turns unto yellow gold his salt green streams.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “But there’s always been rich and poor, and that’s all there is to it. And us two won’t change it, either.”
    The carpenter calmly puffs away: “Only the ones that likes it ought to be poor. Let the others have a try at it first. I ain’t got no liking for it. A fellow gets tired of it after a while.”
    Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
