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)

    Sir, let me tell you, the noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees is the high road that leads him to England.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
