Famous quotes containing the word city:
“Hell is a city much like London—
A populous and a smoky city;
There are all sorts of people undone,
And there is little or no fun done;
Small justice shown, and still less pity.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“A city on th’ inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical.”
