Route Heads North

Famous quotes containing the words route, heads and/or north:

    “By a route obscure and lonely,
    Haunted by ill angels only,
    Where an eidolon, named Night,
    On a black throne reigns upright,
    I have reached these lands but newly
    From an ultimate dim Thule—
    From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
    Out of space—out of time.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “Nature has from the first expanded the minute blossoms of the forest only toward the heavens, above men’s heads and unobserved by them. We see only the flowers that are under our feet in the meadows.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Civilization must be destroyed. The hairy saints
    Of the North have earned this crumb by their complaints.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
