Town Lies

Famous quotes containing the words town and/or lies:

“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Forget all feuds, and shed one English tear
O’er English dust. A broken heart lies here.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
