Famous quotes containing the words stanley, house and/or stables:

    Your absence has gone through me
    Like thread through a needle.
    —William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)

    Just the same as a month before,—
    The house and the trees,
    The barn’s brown gable, the vine by the door,—
    Nothing changed but the hives of bees.
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    Go anywhere in England where there are natural, wholesome, contented, and really nice English people; and what do you always find? That the stables are the real centre of the household.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
