Famous quotes containing the word towers:

“A city on whom plenty held full hand,
For riches strewed herself even in her streets;
Whose towers bore heads so high they kissed the clouds,
And strangers ne’er beheld but wondered at.”

No towers along the steep;
Her march is o’er the mountain-waves,
Her home is on the deep.”
