Hot Deserts

Famous quotes containing the words hot and/or deserts:

    Is your blood
    So madly hot that no discourse of reason,
    Nor fear of bad success in a bad cause,
    Can qualify the same?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In every landscape, the point of astonishment is the meeting of the sky and the earth, and that is seen from the first hillock as well as from the top of the Alleghanies. The stars at night stoop down over the brownest, homeliest common, with all the spiritual magnificence which they shed on the Campagna, or on the marble deserts of Egypt.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
