Slide Mountain Ocean

Famous quotes containing the words slide, mountain and/or ocean:

    “We can slide it
    Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
    Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
    The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
    They call it easing the Spring.”
    —Henry Reed (1914–1986)

    “The mountain sheep are sweeter,
    But the valley sheep are fatter;
    We therefore deemed it meeter
    To carry off the latter.”
    —Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)

    “The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;
    The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
    The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
    And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
