Sun Cities

Famous quotes containing the words sun and/or cities:

“He had a whole heaven and horizon to himself, and the sun seemed to be journeying over his clearing only the livelong day.”

“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.”
—Emma Lazarus (1849–1887)
