Famous quotes containing the words neighbouring and/or streets:

    “I can exchange opinion with any neighbouring mind,
    I have as healthy flesh and blood as any rhymer’s had,
    But O! my Heart could bear no more when the upland caught the wind;
    I ran, I ran, from my love’s side because my Heart went mad.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “On the day that will always belong to you,
    lunar clockwork had faltered
    and I was certain. Walking
    the streets of Manhattan I thought:
    Remember this day. I felt already
    like an urn, filling with wine.”
    —Rita Dove (b. 1952)
