Famous quotes containing the words light and/or townsend:

    Spades take up leaves
    No better than spoons,
    And bags full of leaves
    Are light as balloons.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    When other helpers fail and comforts flee, when the senses decay and the mind moves in a narrower and narrower circle, when the grasshopper is a burden and the postman brings no letters, and even the Royal Family is no longer quite what it was, an obituary column stands fast.
    —Sylvia Townsend Warner (1893–1978)
