Town Clerk

Famous quotes containing the words town and/or clerk:

“Close to the academy in this town they have erected a sort of gallows for the pupils to practice on. I thought that they might as well hang at once all who need to go through such exercises in so new a country, where there is nothing to hinder their living an outdoor life. Better omit Blair, and take the air.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“In the cold morning the rested street stands up
To greet the clerk who saunters down the world.”
