Famous quotes containing the words regiment and/or returned:
“Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?”
—William Morris (18341896)
“After that it came to my door. Now it lives here.
And of course: it is a soft sound, soft as a seals ear,
that was caught between a shape and a shape and then returned to me.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
