Famous quotes containing the words house of, house and/or york:

    First there’s the children’s house of make believe,
    Some shattered dishes underneath a pine,
    The playthings in the playhouse of the children.
    Weep for what little things could make them glad.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    A serious house on serious earth it is,
    In whose blent air all our compulsions meet,
    Are recognised, and robed as destinies,
    And that much never can be obsolete,
    Philip Larkin (1922–1985)

    The energy, the brutality, the scale, the contrast, the tension, the rapid change—and the permanent congestion—are what the New Yorker misses when he leaves the city.
    —In New York City, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
