Mist Continent

Famous quotes containing the words mist and/or continent:

    If the heart of a man is deprest with cares,
    The mist is dispell’d when a woman appears;
    Like the notes of a fiddle, she sweetly, sweetly
    Raises the spirits, and charms our ears.
    John Gay (1685–1732)

    Purity of race does not exist. Europe is a continent of energetic mongrels.
    —H.A.L. (Herbert Albert Laurens)
