Famous quotes containing the words north, pleasant and/or street:
“The North is full of tangled things and texts and aching eyes
And dead is all the innocence of anger and surprise,
And Christian killeth Christian in a narrow dusty room,
And Christian dreadeth Christ that hath a newer face of doom,
And Christian hateth Mary that God kissed in Galilee,”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (18741936)
“What slender youth, bedewed with liquid odours
Courts thee on roses in some pleasant cave,
Pyrrha? For whom bindst thou
In wreaths thy golden hair,
Plain in thy neatness?”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (658 B.C.)
“Nothing makes a man feel older than to hear a band coming up the street and not to have the impulse to rush downstairs and out on to the sidewalk.”
