Mount Sentinel

Famous quotes containing the words mount and/or sentinel:

    “I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
    Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
    If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
    And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.””
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “The sentinel with his musket beside a man with his umbrella is spectral. There is not sufficient reason for his existence.”
