Famous quotes containing the words greenwich and/or meridian:

    “Strange now to think of you, gone without corsets and eyes while I
    walk on the sunny pavement of Greenwich Village.”
    —Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    “I knew that my vocation was found. I had received the call, and having done so, I was sure my work would be assigned me. Of some things we feel quite certain. Inside there is a click, a kind of bell that strikes, when the hands of our destiny meet at the meridian hour.”
    —Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
