Fragrant Hill

Famous quotes containing the words fragrant and/or hill:

    Such fragrant flowers do give most odorous smell;
    But her sweet odour did them all excel.
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    Who knows but this hill may one day be a Helvellyn, or even a Parnassus, and the Muses haunt here, and other Homers frequent the neighboring plains?... It was a place where gods might wander, so solemn and solitary, and removed from all contagion with the plain.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
