Celestial City

Famous quotes containing the words celestial and/or city:

    Happy those early days! when I
    Shined in my angel-infancy.
    Before I understood this place
    Appointed for my second race,
    Or taught my soul to fancy aught
    But a white, celestial thought;
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    I never walked through the streets of any city with as much satisfaction as those of Philadelphia. The neatness and cleanliness of all animate and inanimate things, houses, pavements, and citizens, is not to be surpassed.
    Frances Wright (1795–1852)
