Cloud City

Famous quotes containing the words cloud and/or city:

“When the lamp is shattered,
The light in the dust lies dead;
When the cloud is scattered,
The rainbow’s glory is shed;
When the lute is broken,
Sweet tones are remembered not;
When the lips have spoken,
Loved accents are soon forgot.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“This was once
a city among men, a gathering together of spirit.
It was measured by the Lord and found wanting.”
