Mist Continent

Famous quotes containing the words mist and/or continent:

    After mist has wrapped us again
    in fine wool, may the taste of salt
    recall to us the great depths about us.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Beyond the horizon, or even the knowledge, of the cities along the coast, a great, creative impulse is at work—the only thing, after all, that gives this continent meaning and a guarantee of the future. Every Australian ought to climb up here, once in a way, and glimpse the various, manifold life of which he is a part.
    Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
