Famous quotes containing the words town and/or pound:

    This was the most completely maritime town that we were ever in. It was merely a good harbor, surrounded by land, dry if not firm,—an inhabited beach, whereon fishermen cured and stored their fish, without any back country.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Bastidides, on the contrary, who both talks and writes of nothing
    save copulation,
    Has become the father of twins,
    But he accomplished this feat at some cost;
    He had to be four times cuckold.
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
