Famous quotes containing the words mountain, dew and/or southern:

    We are wearied of our huts
    And the smoky smell of our garments.
    We are sick with desire of the sun
    And the grass on the mountains.
    —Unknown. The Grass on the Mountain (l. 11–14)

    I prefer “you” in the plural, I want “you,”
    You must come to me, all golden and pale
    Like the dew and the air.
    And then I start getting this feeling of exaltation.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    I sometimes wonder that we can be so frivolous ... as to attend to the gross but somewhat foreign form of servitude called Negro Slavery, there are so many keen and subtle masters that enslave both north and south. It is hard to have a southern overseer; it is worse to have a northern one; but worst of all when you are the slave-driver of yourself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
