Mount Pleasant Road

Famous quotes containing the words mount, pleasant and/or road:

    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)

    Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king;
    Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
    Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,
    “Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!”
    Thomas Nashe (1567–1601)

    He taught me the mathematics of anatomy, but he couldn’t teach me the poetry of medicine.... I feel that MacFarland had me on the wrong road, a road that led to knowledge, but not to healing.
    Philip MacDonald, and Robert Wise. Fettes (Russell Wade)
