Urban Word

Famous quotes containing the words urban and/or word:

    The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.
    Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    my heart leaps
    in wonder.
    Cold, fresh, deep, I feel the word ‘water’
    spelled in my left palm.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
