Smoky Mountain High

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

    We’ve looked and looked, but after all where are we?
    Do we know any better where we are,
    And how it stands between the night tonight
    And a man with a smoky lantern chimney?
    How different from the way it ever stood?
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The mountain may be approached more easily and directly on horseback and on foot from the northeast side, by the Aroostook road, and the Wassataquoik River; but in that case you see much less of the wilderness, none of the glorious river and lake scenery, and have no experience of the batteau and the boatman’s life.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    There, do not start,
    child, nor toss about;
    only calm and high pride
    can help your hurt:
    fate tries all alike.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
