...I think the Americans are the only people who have good beds. I consider the American bedroom unparalleled for freshness, comfo...rt, and cleanliness. It is worth going all over Europe in order to come home to one's own bed.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Keep the home fires burning, While your hearts are yearning,... Though your lads are far away They dream of home. There's a silver lining Through the dark cloud shining; Turn the dark cloud inside out, Till the boys come home.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Come then to prayers And kneel upon the stone,... For we have tried All courages on these despairs, And are required lastly to give up pride, And the last difficult pride in being humble.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Boston is not a small New York, as they say a child is not a small adult but is, rather, a specially organized small creature with... its small-creature's temperature, balance, and distribution of fat. In Boston there is an utter absence of that wild electric beauty of New York, of the marvelous, excited rush of people in taxicabs at twilight, of the great Avenues and Streets, the restaurants, theatres, bars, hotels, delicatessens, shops. In Boston the night comes down with an incredibly heavy, small-town finality. The cows come home; the chickens go to roost; the meadow is dark. Nearly every Bostonian is in his house or in someone else's house, dining at the home board, enjoying domestic and social privacy.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Morgan: From tonight you shall get a penny for every mark on your face, sixpence for a bloody nose, a shilling for a black eye, an...d two shillings for a broken nose. Mrs. Morgan: Gwilym, stop it. (To Huw) Fight again and when you come home not another look will you get from me. Not another word. Break your nose, then. Break your mother's heart every time you go from the house.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There will be a new church founded on moral science, at first cold and naked, a babe in a manger again, the algebra and mathematic...s of ethical law, the church of men to come, without shams, or psaltery, or sackbut; but it will have heaven and earth for its beams and rafters; science for symbol and illustration; it will fast enough gather beauty, music, picture, poetry. Was never stoicism so stern and exigent as this shall be. It shall send man home to his central solitude, shame these social, supplicating manners, and make him know that much of the time he must have himself to his friend. He shall expect no cooperation, he shall walk with no companion.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Where is the world we roved, Ned Bunn? Hollows thereof lay rich in shade... By voyagers old inviolate thrown Ere Paul Pry cruised with Pelf and Trade. To us old lads some thoughts come home Who roamed a world young lads no more shall roam.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
