Famous quotes containing the words cannon and/or mountain:
“Hurrah for revolution and cannon come again!
The beggars have changed places, but the lash goes on.”

“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)
