Clock Town

Famous quotes containing the words clock and/or town:

    “What brought them there so far from their home,
    Cuchulain that fought night long with the foam,
    What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower?
    Niamh that rode on it; lad and lass
    That sat so still and played at the chess?
    What but heroic wantonness?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The time you won your town the race
    We chaired you through the market-place;
    Man and boy stood cheering by,
    And home we brought you shoulder-high.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
