Famous quotes containing the words neighbouring and/or streets:

    “I can exchange opinion with any neighbouring mind,
    I have as healthy flesh and blood as any rhymer’s had,
    But O! my Heart could bear no more when the upland caught the wind;
    I ran, I ran, from my love’s side because my Heart went mad.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “A man who lives with nature is used to violence and is companionable with death. There is more violence in an English hedgerow than in the meanest streets of a great city.”
    —P.D. (Phyllis Dorothy)
