Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or towns:
“The horn, the hounds, the lank mares coursing by
Under quaint archetypes of chivalry;
And the fox, lovely ritualist, in flight
Offering his unearthly ghost to quarry;”
—John Crowe Ransom (18881974)
“The poor in bustling towns arent called upon, but the rich deep in the mountains have relatives visiting them from afar.”
—Chinese proverb.
