Thread City

Famous quotes containing the words thread and/or city:

    “It may be the more
    That no line of her writing have I,

    No mark of her late time as dame in her dwelling, whereby
    I may picture her there.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “No one would know except for ancient maps
    That such a brook ran water. But I wonder
    If from its being kept forever under,
    The thoughts may not have risen that so keep
    This new-built city from both work and sleep.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
