Famous quotes containing the words old house, house and/or fair:
“There was an old, old house renewed with paint,
And in it a piano loudly playing.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The night in prison was novel and interesting enough.... I found that even here there was a history and a gossip which never circulated beyond the walls of the jail. Probably this is the only house in the town where verses are composed, which are afterward printed in a circular form, but not published. I was shown quite a long list of verses which were composed by some young men who had been detected in an attempt to escape, who avenged themselves by singing them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The farmers crowd to the fair today in obedience to the same ancient law,... as naturally as bees swarm and follow their queen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
