Northern Wall

Famous quotes containing the words northern and/or wall:

    Warmest climes but nurse the cruelest fangs: the tiger of Bengal crouches in spiced groves of ceaseless verdure. Skies the most effulgent but basket the deadliest thunders: gorgeous Cuba knows tornadoes that never swept tame northern lands.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    We shall renew the battle in the plain
    Tomorrow—red with blood will Xanthus be;
    Hector and Ajax will be there again,
    Helen will come upon the wall to see.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
