Famous quotes containing the words halo and/or city:
“There is a touch of divinity even in brutes, and a special halo about a horse, that should forever exempt him from indignities.”

“half-way up the hill, I see the Past
Lying beneath me with its sounds and sights,—
A city in the twilight dim and vast,
With smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights,—
And hear above me on the autumnal blast
The cataract of Death far thundering from the heights.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
