Smoky Mountain High

Famous quotes containing the words smoky, mountain and/or high:

    In vain thou kindlest all thy smoky fire,
    For virtue hath this better lesson taught,
    Within myself to seek my only hire,
    Desiring nought but how to kill desire.
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    The mountain throws a shadow,
    Thin is the moon’s horn;
    What did we remember
    Under the ragged thorn?
    Dread has followed longing,
    And our hearts are torn.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Though with their high wrongs I am struck to the quick,
    Yet with my nobler reason ‘gainst my fury
    Do I take part. The rarer action is
    In virtue than in vengeance.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
