Famous quotes containing the words cape, town and/or rifles:

    Round the cape of a sudden came the sea,
    And the sun looked over the mountain’s rim:
    And straight was a path of gold for him,
    And the need of a world of men for me.
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    While the town small-talk flows from lip to lip;
    Intrigues half-gathered, conversation-scraps,
    Kitchen-cabals, and nursery-mishaps.
    George Crabbe (1754–1832)

    I think that for once the Sharp’s rifles and the revolvers were employed in a righteous cause.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
