Famous quotes containing the words mount and/or austen:
“I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.””
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“We are to have a tiny party here tonight; I hate tiny
parties—they force one into constant exertion.”
