Medieval City Gate

Famous quotes containing the words medieval, city and/or gate:

    The Christos-image
    is most difficult to disentangle

    of pain-worship and death-symbol.

    No one would know except for ancient maps
    That such a brook ran water. But I wonder
    If from its being kept forever under,
    The thoughts may not have risen that so keep
    This new-built city from both work and sleep.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    A young child is no longer simply a child; he or she is a preschooler, poised at the starting gate in the race of life.
