Famous quotes containing the words independence and/or mountain:
“Hail, Columbia! happy land!
Hail, ye heroes! heaven-born band!

Who fought and bled in Freedoms cause,
And when the storm of war was gone,
Enjoyed the peace your valor won.
Let independence be our boast,
Ever mindful what it cost;”

“And though in tinsel chain and popcorn rope
My tree, a captive in your window bay,
Has lost its footing on my mountain slope
And lost the stars of heaven, may, oh, may
The symbol star it lifts against your ceiling
Help me accept its fate with Christmas feeling.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
