The Lost City of Sand

Famous quotes containing the words lost, city and/or sand:

    A woman who’d lost her first son
    consoled us with an angel gone ahead
    to pray for our family—
    gone into that sky
    seeking oxygen,
    gone into autopsy,
    Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)

    The screech and mechanical uproar of the big city turns the citified head, fills citified ears—as the song of birds, wind in the trees, animal cries, or as the voices and songs of his loved ones once filled his heart. He is sidewalk- happy.
    Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)

    The shore is composed of a belt of smooth rounded white stones like paving-stones, excepting one or two short sand beaches, and is so steep that in many places a single leap will carry you into water over your head; and were it not for its remarkable transparency, that would be the last to be seen of its bottom till it rose on the opposite side. Some think it is bottomless.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
