Broken Tower

Famous quotes containing the words broken and/or tower:

    ...that broken reed of a staff, which will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it.
    Bible: Hebrew, 2 Kings 18:21.

    Resignedly beneath the sky
    The melancholy waters lie.
    So blend the turrets and shadows there
    That all seem pendulous in air,
    While from a proud tower in the town
    Death looks gigantically down.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
