Famous quotes containing the words city and/or centre:

    “Och, Dublin City, there is no doubtin’,
    Bates every city upon the say;
    ‘Tis there you’ll see O’Connell spoutin’,
    An’ Lady Morgan makin’ tay;
    For ‘tis the capital of the finest nation,
    Wid charmin’ pisintry on a fruitful sod,
    Fightin’ like divils for conciliation
    An’ hatin’ each other for the love of God.”
    —Charles James Lever (1809–1872)

    “Here in the centre stands the glass. Light
    Is the lion that comes down to drink. There
    And in that state, the glass is a pool.
    Ruddy are his eyes and ruddy are his claws
    When light comes down to wet his frothy jaws”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
