Alpine Fortress

Famous quotes containing the words alpine and/or fortress:

    The shades of night were falling fast,
    As through an Alpine village passed
    A youth, who bore, ‘mid snow and ice,
    A banner with the strange device,
    Excelsior!
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    London ... remains a man’s city where New York is chiefly a woman’s. London has whole streets that cater to men’s wants. It has its great solid phalanx of fortress clubs.
    Louis Kronenberger (1904–1980)
