Famous quotes containing the words greenwich, london and/or council:
“Strange now to think of you, gone without corsets and eyes while I
walk on the sunny pavement of Greenwich Village.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“Oh, London is a man’s town, there’s power in the air;
And Paris is a woman’s town, with flowers in her hair;
And it’s sweet to dream in Venice, and it’s great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.”
—Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)
“There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
