Dark Blue Mountain

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

    “A shadow
    not of a bird, not of a cloud,
    draws a dark stroke over
    the hills, the mind.
    And another, another.
    Our fears keep pace with us.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “How prone poor Humanity is to dam up the minutest remnants of its freedom, and build an artificial roof to prevent it looking up to the clear blue sky.”
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)

    “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)
