Famous quotes containing the words sanctuary and/or walls:
“He took the props down used for propping open,
And set them up again for propping shut,
The widespread double doors two stories high.
The advantage-disadvantage of these doors
Was that tramp taking sanctuary there
Must leave them unlocked to betray his presence.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“before its great shadow joined
the walls and roof and seemed
to uphold the hall like a beam.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
