Rapid City Rapid

Famous quotes containing the words rapid and/or city:

“he dreadful darts
With rapid glide along the leaning line;
And, fixing in the wretch his cruel fangs”

“The city is recruited from the country. In the year 1805, it is said, every legitimate monarch in Europe was imbecile. The city would have died out, rotted, and exploded, long ago, but that it was reinforced from the fields. It is only country which came to town day before yesterday, that is city and court today.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
