Famous quotes containing the words desert and/or cities:
“The change of Philomel, by the barbarous king
So rudely forced; yet there the nightingale
Filled all the desert with inviolable voice
And still she cried, and still the world pursues,
“Jug Jug” to dirty ears.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“To walk through the ruined cities of Germany is to feel an actual doubt about the continuity of civilization.”
