Famous quotes containing the words cities and/or burn:
“If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth,
When time is old and hath forgot itself,
When waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy,
And blind oblivion swallowed cities up,
And mighty states characterless are grated
To dusty nothing, yet let memory
From false to false among false maids in love
Upbraid my falsehood.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I’m on my half of the bed,
my face turned away,
and my heart’s now aflame with regret.
So why do you burn my back, too,
with your hot sighs?”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
