Portable Houses

Famous quotes containing the words portable and/or houses:

    Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents’ pots and pans—the used things, warm with generations of human touch, ... essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    Nothing will be left white but here a birch,
    And there a clump of houses with a church.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
