Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or mountain:
“That civilisation may not sink,
Its great battle lost,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“There is a mountain in the distant West
That, sun-defying, in its deep ravines
Displays a cross of snow upon its side.
Such is the cross I wear upon my breast
These eighteen years, through all the changing scenes
And seasons, changeless since the day she died.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
