Haunts

Famous quotes containing the word haunts:

    I come from haunts of coot and hern,
    I make a sudden sally,
    And sparkle out among the fern
    To bicker down a valley.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    gird the windy grove,
    And flood the haunts of hern and crake;
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    If an addict who has been completely cured starts smoking again he no longer experiences the discomfort of his first addiction. There exists, therefore, outside alkaloids and habit, a sense for opium, an intangible habit which lives on, despite the recasting of the organism.... The dead drug leaves a ghost behind. At certain hours it haunts the house.
    Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
