Famous quotes containing the words town, meeting and/or form:
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“They had met, and included in their meeting the thrust of the manifold grass stems, the cry of the peewit, the wheel of the stars.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Mine eye hath play’d the painter, and hath steel’d
Thy beauty’s form in table of my heart:”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
