Raised Floors

Famous quotes containing the words raised and/or floors:

    Look at the mother of Washington! She raised a boy that could not tell a lie—could not tell a lie! But he never had any chance. It might have been different if he had belonged to the Washington Newspaper Correspondents’ Club
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    your bare feet on the floors of silence
    speak in rhymed stanzas to the furniture,
    solemn chests of drawers and heavy chairs
    blinking in the sun you have let in!
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
