Famous quotes containing the words silk and/or city:

    “Like a skein of loose silk blown against a wall
    She walks by the railing of a path in Kensington Gardens,
    And she is dying piecemeal
    of a sort of emotional anemia.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that’s none of the law’s business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he’d better have the rooms available.”
    —Unknown. Charlotte Observer (October 6, 1989)
