Cloud City

Famous quotes containing the words cloud and/or city:

    “The sea was wet as wet could be,
    The sands were dry as dry.
    You could not see a cloud, because
    No cloud was in the sky:
    No birds were flying overhead—
    There were no birds to fly.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “... anything so delightful as Washington I have never seen elsewhere. There were a mingled simplicity and grandeur, a mingled state and quiet intimacy, a brilliancy of conversation—the proud prominence of intellect over material prosperity which does not exist in any other city of the Union.”
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
