Mountain Men

Famous quotes containing the words mountain and/or men:

“The mountain may be approached more easily and directly on horseback and on foot from the northeast side, by the Aroostook road, and the Wassataquoik River; but in that case you see much less of the wilderness, none of the glorious river and lake scenery, and have no experience of the batteau and the boatman’s life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“At Sestos, Hero dwelt; Hero the faire,
Whom young Apollo, courted for her haire,
And offred as a dower his burning throne,
Where she should sit for men to gaze upon.”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
