Birch Mountains

Famous quotes containing the words birch and/or mountains:

“The birch begins to crack its outer sheath
Of baby green and show the white beneath....”

“And open field, through which the pathway wound,
And homeward led my steps. Magnificent
The morning rose, in memorable pomp,
Glorious as e’er I had beheld—in front,
The sea lay laughing at a distance; near,
The solid mountains shone, bright as the clouds,
Grain-tinctured, drenched in empyrean light;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
