Red Mountains

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or mountains:

    “The curse of hell upon the sleek upstart
    That got the Captain finally on his back
    And took the red red vitals of his heart
    And made the kites to whet their beaks clack clack.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “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)
