Famous quotes containing the words ancient, cities and/or towns:
“I can forgive even that wrong of wrongs,
Those undreamt accidents that have made me
Seeing that Fame has perished this long while,
Being but a part of ancient ceremony
Notorious, till all my priceless things
Are but a post the passing dogs defile.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“We are in danger ... of making our cities places where business goes on but where life, in its real sense, is lost.”

“In the towns I am tracked by phantoms having weird detective ways—”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
