Windows

Famous quotes containing the word windows:

    But let my due feet never fail
    To walk the studious cloister’s pale,
    And love the high embowed roof,
    With antic pillars massy proof,
    And storied windows richly dight,
    Casting a dim, religious light.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    All day long the machine waits: rooms,
    stairs, carpets, furniture, people
    those people who stand at the open windows like objects
    waiting to topple.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I know some lonely houses off the road
    A robber’d like the look of,—
    Wooden barred,
    And windows hanging low,
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
