Famous quotes containing the words stephens and/or city:
“straightway like a bell
Came low and clear
The slow, sad murmur of the distant seas,”
—James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)
“The city is loveliest when the sweet death racket begins. Her own life lived in defiance of nature, her electricity, her frigidaires, her soundproof walls, the glint of lacquered nails, the plumes that wave across the corrugated sky. Here in the coffin depths grow the everlasting flowers sent by telegraph.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
