Dark Blue Mountain

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

    “will your eyes lie in wait,
    little field mice nestling on their paws?
    Perhaps they will say nothing,
    perhaps they will be dark and leaden,
    having played their own game
    somewhere else....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The extra worry began it—on the
    Blue blue mountain—she never set foot
    And then and there. Meanwhile the host
    Mourned her quiet tenure. They all stayed chatting.
    No one did much about eating.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Come live with me and be my Love,
    And we will all the pleasures prove
    That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
    Or woods or steepy mountain yields.

    And we will sit upon the rocks,
    And see the shepherds feed their flocks
    By shallow rivers, to whose falls
    Melodious birds sing madrigals.”
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
