King City Maple

Famous quotes containing the words king, city and/or maple:

    And this is law, I will maintain,
    Until my dying day, Sir,
    That whatsoever king shall reign,
    I’ll be the Vicar of Bray, Sir.
    —Unknown. The Vicar of Bray (l. 9–12)

    The screech and mechanical uproar of the big city turns the citified head, fills citified ears—as the song of birds, wind in the trees, animal cries, or as the voices and songs of his loved ones once filled his heart. He is sidewalk- happy.
    Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)

    Once they came on a maple in a glade,
    Standing alone with smooth arms lifted up,
    And every leaf of foliage she’d worn
    Laid scarlet and pale pink about her feet.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
