Mickle Street

Famous quotes containing the words mickle and/or street:

    O, mickle is the powerful grace that lies
    In plants, herbs, stones, and their true qualities;
    For nought so vile that on the earth doth live
    But to the earth some special good doth give.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
    Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
    If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
    And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
