Famous quotes containing the words side, historic and/or district:
“She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She looked down to Camelot.

The mirror cracked from side to side;
“The curse is come upon me,” cried
The Lady of Shalott.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
