Famous quotes containing the words streets, crosstown and/or line:

    We had hardly got out of the streets of Bangor before I began to be exhilarated by the sight of the wild fir and spruce tops, and those of other primitive evergreens, peering through the mist in the horizon. It was like the sight and odor of cake to a schoolboy.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The three of them are enveloped
    turning now to go crosstown in their
    sense of each other, of pleasure,
    of weather, of corners,
    of leisurely tensions between them
    and private silence.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    I love them
    for finding what
    I can’t find,
    and for loving me
    for the line I wrote,
    and for forgetting it....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
