Famous quotes containing the words locks, built and/or thames:

    If courtesans and strumpets were to be prosecuted with as much rigour as some silly people would have it, what locks or bars would be sufficient to preserve the honour of our wives and daughters?
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    They built by rivers and at night the water
    Running past windows comforted their sorrow;
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    I wander thro’ each charter’d street,
    Near where the charter’d Thames does flow,
    And mark in every face I meet
    Marks of weakness, marks of woe.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
