Not Insentient

Our house was not insentient matter--it had a heart and a soul and eyes to see us with; and approvals and solicitudes and deep sympathies; it was of us and we were in the peace of its benediction. We never came home from an absence that its face did not light up and speak out its eloquent welcome--and we could not enter it unmoved.
--Mark Twain
