Famous quotes containing the words picture and/or city:
“Well, Mary, only six more days to go and your old Nathan will be out of the army. Havent decided what Ill do yet. Somehow I just cant picture myself back there on the banks of the Wabash rocking on a front porch. No, Ive been thinkin I, maybe Ill push on west, new settlements, California.”

“The city sleeps and the country sleeps,
The living sleep for their time, the dead sleep for their time,
The old husband sleeps by his wife and the young husband sleeps by his wife;
And these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them,
And such as it is to be of these more or less I am,
And of these one and all I weave the song of myself.”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
