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.”

“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)
