Big Stone City

Famous quotes containing the words big, stone and/or city:

    “And about her courts were seen
    Liveried angels robed in green,
    Wearing, by St Patrick’s bounty,
    Emeralds big as half the county.”
    —Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    “It is of stone.
    A rosy stone that takes
    a glowing tone of softness
    only because behind it the sky is a doubtful, a doubting
    night gray.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “A city built upon mud;
    A culture built upon profit;
    Free speech nipped in the bud,
    The minority always guilty.
    Why should I want to go back
    To you, Ireland, my Ireland?”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
