Mountain Belts

Famous quotes containing the words mountain and/or belts:

    “The mountain throws a shadow,
    Thin is the moon’s horn;
    What did we remember
    Under the ragged thorn?
    Dread has followed longing,
    And our hearts are torn.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Such a style,—so diversified and variegated! It is like the face of a country; it is like a New England landscape, with farmhouses and villages, and cultivated spots, and belts of forests and blueberry swamps round about, with the fragrance of shad-blossoms and violets on certain winds.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
