Mountains Rise

Famous quotes containing the words mountains and/or rise:

“Wachusett hides its lingering voice
Within its rocky heart,
And Allegheny graves its tone
Throughout his lofty chart.
Monadnock, on his forehead hoar,
Doth seal the sacred trust,
Your mountains build their monument,
Though ye destroy their dust.”
—Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)

“My spirits infallibly rise in proportion to the outward dreariness. Give me the ocean, the desert, or the wilderness!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
