Ellis Township

Famous quotes containing the words ellis and/or township:

    We cannot be sure that we ought not to regard the most criminal country as that which in some aspects possesses the highest civilisation.
    —Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)

    The most interesting thing which I heard of, in this township of Hull, was an unfailing spring, whose locality was pointed out to me on the side of a distant hill, as I was panting along the shore, though I did not visit it. Perhaps, if I should go through Rome, it would be some spring on the Capitoline Hill I should remember the longest.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
