Famous quotes containing the words blue, mountain and/or lake:

    A vapor sometimes like a bear or lion,
    A towered citadel, a pendant rock,

    With trees upon ‘t that nod unto the world
    And mock our eyes with air. Thou hast seen these signs;
    They are black vesper’s pageants.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
