—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve, I’ve dreamed of havin’ my own things about me. My spinet over there and a table here. My own chairs to rest upon and a dresser over there in that corner, and my own china and pewter shinin’ about me.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
“My verse has brought me no roubles to spare:
no craftsmen have made mahogany chairs for my house.”
