Famous quotes containing the words city and/or museum:

The beauty of the morning; silent bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie
Open unto the fields and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“To look at and properly appreciate the British Museum is the work of a lifetime.”
