Candidate Cities

Famous quotes containing the words candidate and/or cities:

    “Hear, then, a mortal Muse thy praise rehearse,
    In no ignoble verse;
    But such as thy own voice did practise here,
    When thy first-fruits of Poesy were given,
    To make thyself a welcome inmate there;
    While yet a young probationer,
    And candidate of Heaven.”
    —John Dryden (1631–1700)
