Asylum Hill Neighborhood

Famous quotes containing the words asylum, hill and/or neighborhood:

    An earthly dog of the carriage breed;
    Who, having failed of the modern speed,
    Now asked asylum and I was stirred
    To be the one so dog-preferred.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Who knows but this hill may one day be a Helvellyn, or even a Parnassus, and the Muses haunt here, and other Homers frequent the neighboring plains?... It was a place where gods might wander, so solemn and solitary, and removed from all contagion with the plain.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The world has narrowed to a neighborhood before it has broadened to brotherhood.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
