Famous quotes containing the word crowds:

    Good-bye, proud world! I’m Going home;
    Thou art not my friend, and I’m not thine.
    Long through thy weary crowds I roam;
    A river-ark on the ocean brine,
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The long high tent of growing and making, wired-off
    Wood tables past which crowds shuffle, eyeing the scrubbed
    spaced
    Extrusions of earth....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Along the iron veins that traverse the frame of our country, beat and flow the fiery pulses of its exertion, hotter and faster every hour. All vitality is concentrated through those throbbing arteries into the central cities; the country is passed over like a green sea by narrow bridges, and we are thrown back in continually closer crowds on the city gates.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)
