Famous quotes containing the words city and/or centre:

    “I was asking for something specific and perfect for my city,
    Whereupon lo! upsprang the aboriginal name.
    Now I see what there is in a name, a word, liquid, sane, unruly,
    musical, self-sufficient,
    I see that the word of my city is that word from of old,
    Because I see that word nested in nests of water-bays, superb,
    Rich, hemm’d thick all around with sailships and steamships, an
    island sixteen miles long, solid-founded,”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “The bogholes might be Atlantic seepage.
    The wet centre is bottomless.”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
