Built Towers

Famous quotes containing the words built and/or towers:

“Have you heard of the wonderful one-hoss shay,
That was built in such a logical way
It ran a hundred years to a day,”

“Was this the face that launched a thousand ships,
And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.—
Her lips suck forth my soul; see where it flies!—
Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again.
Here will I dwell, for heaven be in these lips,
And all is dross that is not Helena.”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
