City/origins

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or origins:

“This was once
a city among men, a gathering together of spirit.
It was measured by the Lord and found wanting.”

Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
Barnacles, mussels, water weeds—and one
Blue bit of polished glass, glued there by time:
The origins of art.”
