Serene, indifferent of Fate, Thou sittest at the Western Gate; Upon thy heights so lately won Still slant the banners of the sun; Thou seest the white seas strike their tents, O Warder of two Continents! And scornful of the peace that flies Thy angry winds and sullen skies, Thou drawest all things, small or great, To thee, beside the Western Gate. ~ "San Francisco, from the Sea", Bret Harte (1836–1902) *more quotes about San Francisco from Wikiquote
