Dark Blue Mountain

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

    “The soul’s dark cottage, battered and decayed,
    Lets in new light through chinks that Time has made:
    Stronger by weakness, wiser men become
    As they draw near to their eternal home.
    Leaving the old, both worlds at once they view
    That stand upon the threshold of the new.”
    —Edmund Waller (1606–1687)

    “This side of the truth,
    You may not see, my son,
    King of your blue eyes
    In the blinding country of youth,
    That all is undone,
    Under the unminding skies....”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “The mountain sheep are sweeter,
    But the valley sheep are fatter;
    We therefore deemed it meeter
    To carry off the latter.”
    —Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
