Famous quotes containing the words walls of and/or walls:

    Electricity, water, gas, and steam course through the walls of my building, keeping it alive.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    a child who traced voyages
    indelibly all over the atlas, who now in a far country
    remembers the first river, the first
    field, bricks and lumber dumped in it ready for building,
    that new smell, and remembers
    the walls of the garden, the first light.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
