Famous quotes containing the words town and/or pound:

    A blessing through the ages thus
    Shield all thy roofs and towers!
    God with the fathers, so with us,
    Thou darling town of ours!
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Haie! Haie!
    These were the swift to harry;
    These the keen-scented;
    These were the souls of blood.
    Slow on the leash,
    pallid the leash-men!
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
