Sacred Mountains

Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or mountains:

    Oh some I know! I have embalmed the days,
    Even the sacred moments when we played,
    All innocent of passion, uncorrupt,
    At noon and evening in the flame-heart’s shade.
    Claude McKay (1889–1948)

    I can’t do with mountains at close quarters—they are always in the way, and they are so stupid, never moving and never doing anything but obtrude themselves.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
