Fire State Park

Famous quotes containing the words fire, state and/or park:

    O none but gods have power their love to hide,
    Affection by the count’nance is descride.
    The light of hidden fire it selfe discovers,
    And love that is conceal’d, betraies poore lovers.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    Across Parker Avenue from the fort is the Site of the Old Gallows, where 83 men “stood on nothin’, a-lookin’ up a rope.” The platform had a trap wide enought to “accommodate” 12 men, but half that number was the highest ever reached. On two occasions six miscreants were executed. There were several groups of five, some quartets and trios.

    Therefore awake! make haste, I say,
    And let us, without staying,
    All in our gowns of green so gay
    Into the Park a-maying!
    Unknown. Sister, Awake! (L. 9–12)
