Noble Street Charter

Famous quotes containing the words noble, street and/or charter:

    Then hail! thou noble conquerer!
    That, when tyranny oppressed,
    Hewed for our fathers from the wild
    A land wherein to rest.
    Mary Elizabeth Hewitt (b. 1818)

    And men left down their work and came,
    And women with petticoats coloured like flame.
    And little bare feet that were blue with cold,
    Went dancing back to the age of gold,
    And all the world went gay, went gay,
    For half an hour in the street to-day.
    “Seumas” “O’Sullivan” (1879–1958)

    Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing,
    And like enough thou know’st thy estimate:
    The charter of thy worth gives thee releasing;
    My bonds in thee are all determinate.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
