Famous quotes containing the words boston and/or marathon:
“this planned
Babel of Boston where our money talks”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“The mountains look on Marathon—
And Marathon looks on the sea;
And musing there an hour alone,
I dreamed that Greece might still be free;
For standing on the Persians’ grave,
I could not deem myself a slave.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
