Cloud City

Famous quotes containing the words cloud and/or city:

    Hast ‘ou fashioned so airy a mood
    To draw up leaf from the root?
    Hast ‘ou found a cloud so light
    As seemed neither mist nor shade?
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    But what we strive to gratify, though we may call it a distant hope, is an immediate desire; the future estate for which men drudge up city alleys exists already in their imagination and love.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
