Penn Place

Famous quotes containing the words penn and/or place:

    Later you hear it wander the dark house
    Like a mother who rises at night to seek a childhood picture;
    Or it goes to the backyard and stands like an old horse cold in the
    pasture.
    —Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)

    He may not shine with courtly graces,
    But yet, his kind, respectful air
    To woman, whatsoe’er her place is,
    It might be well if kings could share.
    So, for the chivalric true gentleman,
    Give me, I say, our own American.
    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1855–1919)
