Famous quotes containing the words sister and/or cities:
“For she has made me the laily worm
That lies at the fit o’ the tree,
An’ my sister Masery she’s made
The machrel of the sea.”
—Unknown. The Laily Worm and the Machrel of the Sea (l. 5–8)
“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.”
—Emma Lazarus (1849–1887)
