Close Front

Famous quotes containing the words close and/or front:

“I remember, I remember
The fir trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky;
It was a childish ignorance,
But now ‘tis little joy
To know I’m further off from Heaven
Than when I was a boy.”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

“People’s backyards are much more interesting than their front gardens, and houses that back on to railways are public benefactors.”
