Famous quotes containing the word mountains:
“The mountains will be in labor and bring forth a ridiculous mouse.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
“And open field, through which the pathway wound,
And homeward led my steps. Magnificent
The morning rose, in memorable pomp,
Glorious as e’er I had beheld—in front,
The sea lay laughing at a distance; near,
The solid mountains shone, bright as the clouds,
Grain-tinctured, drenched in empyrean light;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
