Guest

Famous quotes containing the word guest:

    But must I confess how I liked him,
    How glad I was he had come like a guest in quiet, to drink at my
    water-trough
    And depart peaceful, pacified, and thankless,
    Into the burning bowels of this earth?
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
    That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.
    —Edgar Albert Guest (1881–1959)

    The temples, the tank, the jail, the palace, the birds, the carrion, the Guest House, that came into view as they issued from the gap and saw Mau beneath: they didn’t want it, they said in their hundred voices, “No, not yet,” and the sky said, “No, not there.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
