Quotes about Kitchen


Her that ruled the rost in the kitchen.

Thomas Heywood

Born in the garret, in the kitchen bred.

George Gordon Noel Byron, Lord Byron

Her washing ended with the day,
Yet lived she at its close,
And passed the long, long night away
In darning ragged hose.


But when the sun in all its state
Illumed the Eastern skies,
She passed about the kitchen grate
And went to making pies.

Feast of Stephen, Deacon, First Martyr Lord of all pots and pans and things, since I've no time to be A saint by doing lovely things, or watching late with Thee, Or dreaming in the dawn-light, or storming Heaven's gates, Make me a saint by getting meals and washing up the plates. Although I must have Martha's hands, I have a Mary mind, And when I black the boots and shoes, Thy sandals, Lord, I find. I think of how they trod the earth, what time I scrub the floor: Accept this meditation, Lord, I haven't time for more. Warm all the kitchen with Thy love, and light it with Thy peace; Forgive me all my worrying, and make my grumbling cease. Thou who didst love to give men food, in room or by the sea, Accept this service that I do—I do it unto Thee.

Cecily Halleck
