Famous quotes containing the words west and/or lawn:

    There are acacias, a graceful species amusingly devitalized by sentimentality, this kind drooping its leaves with the grace of a young widow bowed in controllable grief, this one obscuring them with a smooth silver as of placid tears. They please, like the minor French novelists of the eighteenth century, by suggesting a universe in which nothing cuts deep.
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    Once our idea of heaven meant
    all the dead relatives waiting
    on the kept lawn of the many mansions
    as if, suddenly sinless, they had nothing
    to do. ...
    Deborah Digges (b. 1950)
