City Boy

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or boy:

“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

“The boy stood on the burning deck
Whence all but he had fled.”
—Felicia Hemans (1793–1835)
