Cross Country Mountain

Famous quotes containing the words cross, country and/or mountain:

    “Expecting me to grovel,
    she carefully covers both feet
    with the hem of her skirt.
    She pretends to hide
    a coming smile
    and won’t look straight at me.
    When I talk to her,
    she chats with her friend
    in cross tones.
    Even this slim girl’s rising anger
    delights me,
    let alone her deep love.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “The country that is more developed industrially only shows, to the less developed, the image of its own future.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “‘Tis distance lends enchantment to the view,
    And robes the mountain in its azure hue.”
    —Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)
