Famous quotes containing the word tower:

    Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building—like Tower Bridge—or a classical front put on a steel frame—like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living—not something added, like sugar on a pill.
    Eric Gill (1882–1940)

    The tower said, “One!”
    And then a steeple.
    They spoke to themselves....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
    —Bible: Hebrew Song of Solomon, 7:4.
