Famous quotes containing the words populous, south and/or cities:

    “Once I pass’d through a populous city imprinting my brain for
    future use with its shows, architecture, customs, traditions,
    Yet now of all that city I remember only a woman I casually met
    there who detain’d me for love of me,”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “The cloud was so dark that it needed all the bright lights that could be turned upon it. But for four years there was a contagion of nobility in the land, and the best blood North and South poured itself out a libation to propitiate the deities of Truth and Justice. The great sin of slavery was washed out, but at what a cost!”
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    “Whilst we want cities as the centres where the best things are found, cities degrade us by magnifying trifles.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
