Halls

It is necessary that the halls be well cleaned.

Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington.

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines, and the living rooms of Concord, and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.

Empty, vast, and cold were the halls of the Snow Queen.

Tom studies in Germany, but he doesn't speak any German. As the German language keeps disappearing more and more from the lecture halls, he doesn't really need to.

Only when the poor enter the halls of the rich, do the rich notice that the poor exist.

And now, Deiphobus, thy halls of pride, / bowed by the flames, come ruining through the air; / next burn Ucalegon's, and far and wide / the broad Sigean reddens with the glare.

These, stationed at the gates, with naked glaive, / shoulder to shoulder, guard the pass below. / Hearts leap afresh the royal halls to save, / and cheer our vanquished friends and reinspire the brave.

Behind the palace, unobserved and free, / there stood a door, a secret thoroughfare / through Priam's halls. Here poor Andromache / while Priam's kingdom flourished and was fair, / to greet her husband's parents would repair / alone, or carrying with tendance fain / to Hector's father Hector's son and heir.

Then homeward turn, if haply in her flight, / if, haply, thither she had strayed; but ere / I came, behold, the Danaans, loud in fight, / swarmed through the halls.
