Town Walls

Famous quotes containing the words town and/or walls:

    The town is silent. The night boils with eleven stars.
    Oh starry starry night! This is how
    I want to die.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Lift not thy spear against the Muses’ bower:
    The great Emathian conqueror bid spare
    The house of Pindarus, when temple and tower
    Went to the ground; and the repeated air
    Of sad Electra’s poet had the power
    To save the Athenian walls from ruin bare.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
