Purple City

Famous quotes containing the words purple and/or city:

“O’er her warm cheek and rising bosom move
The bloom of young desire and purple light of love.”
—Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

“I am not aware that any man has ever built on the spot which I occupy. Deliver me from a city built on the site of a more ancient city, whose materials are ruins, whose gardens cemeteries. The soil is blanched and accursed there, and before that becomes necessary the earth itself will be destroyed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
