Middle Holsten Gate

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or gate:

    I never yet feared those men who set a place apart in the middle of their cities where they gather to cheat one another and swear oaths which they break.
    Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)

    What heaven-entreated heart is this
    Stands trembling at the gate of bliss;
    Holds fast the door, yet dares not venture
    Fairly to open it and enter?
    Whose definition is a doubt
    ‘Twixt life and death, ‘twixt in and out?
    Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
