The climate change movement is a river overflowing seeping into every nook and cranny.
The advantages of whiskey over dogs are legion. Whiskey does not need to be periodically wormed, it does not need to be fed, it never requires a special kennel, it has no toenails to be clipped or coat to be stripped. Whiskey sits quietly in its special nook until you want it. True, whiskey has a nasty habit of running out, but then so does a dog.
My library is my kingdom, and here I try to make my rule absolute-shutting off this single nook from wife, daughter and society. Elsewhere I have only a verbal authority, and vague. Unhappy is the man, in my opinion, who has no spot at home where he can be at home to himself-to court himself and hide away.
Oh for a seat in some poetic nook, Just hid with trees and sparkling with a brook!
Every thought is public, Every nook is wide; Thy gossips spread each whisper, And the gods from side to side.
The quiet rhythmic monotone of the wall of logs fills one with the rustic peace of a secluded nook in the woods.
I give the fight up: let there be an end, a privacy, an obscure nook for me. I want to be forgotten even by God.
Monetary relations have penetrated into every nook and cranny of the world and into almost every aspect of social, even private life.
There are elements of intrinsic beauty in the simplification of a house built on the log cabin idea. First, there is the bare beauty of the logs themselves with their long lines and firm curves. Then there is the open charm felt of the structural features which are not hidden under plaster and ornament, but are clearly revealed, a charm felt in Japanese architecture. . . . The quiet rhythmic monotone of the wall of logs fills one with the rustic peace of a secluded nook in the woods.
What's really interesting is the introduction of the tablet - not just the iPad, but the Nook and the Kindle. While they aren't going to solve all of our problems, I do think they make it easier for people to pause, linger, read and really process very important ideas.
A most burning question of time, though. It burns in every nook and cranny of the ethnological world, burning, bright, brightly, in the fullest blaze, and it burns all around, huge fire! and no one lifts a hand.
Honestly, I think we should be delighted people still want to read, be it on a Kindle or a Nook or whatever the latest device is.
I have to say, I'm good with gifts. If I find something perfect for a certain person, I'll just get it and put it away in a kind of nook under my bed - a little gift hutch, if you prefer.
