Famous quotes containing the word towns:
“With a laugh,
An oath of towns that set the wild at naught,
They bring the telephone and telegraph.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The scenery of mountain towns is commonly too much crowded. A town which is built on a plain of some extent, with an open horizon, and surrounded by hills at a distance, affords the best walks and views.”
