Famous quotes containing the words forest, hills and/or high:
“A lady with whom I was riding in the forest said to me that the woods always seemed to her to wait, as if the genii who inhabit them suspend their deeds until the wayfarer had passed onward; a thought which poetry has celebrated in the dance of the fairies, which breaks off on the approach of human feet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“And the heavy night hung dark
The hills and waters oer,
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (17831835)
“I know not how,
But I do find it cowardly and vile,
For fear of what might fall, so to prevent
The time of lifearming myself with patience
To stay the providence of some high powers
That govern us below.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
