Village Level

Famous quotes containing the words village and/or level:

    “But I go with my friend to the shore of our little river, and with one stroke of the paddle, I leave the village politics and personalities, yes, and the world of villages and personalities behind, and pass into a delicate realm of sunset and moonlight, too bright almost for spotted man to enter without novitiate and probation.”

    And not a shadowe mote by seene,
    Save where full fyve good miles away
    The steeple towered from out the greene,”
