Armstrong Township

Famous quotes containing the words armstrong and/or township:

    There dwelt a man in faire Westmerland,
    Jonnë Armestrong men did him call,
    He had nither lands nor rents coming in,
    Yet he kept eight score men in his hall.
    —Unknown. Johnie Armstrong (l. 1–4)

    The most interesting thing which I heard of, in this township of Hull, was an unfailing spring, whose locality was pointed out to me on the side of a distant hill, as I was panting along the shore, though I did not visit it. Perhaps, if I should go through Rome, it would be some spring on the Capitoline Hill I should remember the longest.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
