Athens Village

Famous quotes containing the words athens and/or village:

    Before the time I did Lysander see,
    Seemed Athens as a paradise to me.
    O then, what graces in my love do dwell,
    That he hath turned a heaven unto a hell?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There were those young men,
    those village lands
    and that youthfulness of mine.
    People tell it
    like a tale
    that I must listen to.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
