Host Cities

Famous quotes containing the words host and/or cities:

    Pure was thy life; its bloody close
    Hath placed thee with the sons of light,
    Among the noble host of those
    Who perished in the cause of Right.
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    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)
