Famous quotes containing the words sister and/or cities:
“For she has made me the laily worm
That lies at the fit o’ the tree,
An’ my sister Masery she’s made
The machrel of the sea.”
—Unknown. The Laily Worm and the Machrel of the Sea (l. 5–8)
“If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth,
When time is old and hath forgot itself,
When waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy,
And blind oblivion swallowed cities up,
And mighty states characterless are grated
To dusty nothing, yet let memory
From false to false among false maids in love
Upbraid my falsehood.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
