Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or town:
“Neither by night’s ancient fear,
The parting of hat from hair,
Pursed lips at the receiver,
Shall I fall to death’s feather.
By these I would not care to die,
Half convention and half lie.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“A town is saved, not more by the righteous men in it than by the woods and swamps that surround it.”
