White House Historical

Famous quotes containing the words white, house and/or historical:

    To muse and brood and live again in memory,

    Heaped over with a mound of grass,
    Two handfuls of white dust, shut in an urn of brass!

    Turn back. Turn, young lady dear
    A murderer’s house you enter here
    I was wooed and won little bird
