Mountain Lake Hamlet

Famous quotes containing the words mountain, lake and/or hamlet:

    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Will lovely, lively, virginal today
    Shatter for us with a wing’s drunken blow
    This hard, forgotten lake haunted in snow
    By the sheer ice of flocks not flown away!”
    —Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–1898)

    Bear Hamlet like a soldier to the stage,
    For he was likely, had he been put on,
    To have proved most royally.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
