Treasure Mountain Dome

Famous quotes containing the words treasure, mountain and/or dome:

“Love was as subtly catched, as a disease;
But being got it is a treasure sweet,
Which to defend is harder than to get:
And ought not be prophaned on either part,
For though ‘tis got by chance, ‘tis kept by art.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

“The mountain held the town as in a shadow.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Thus to him, to this school-boy under the bending dome of day, is suggested, that he and it proceed from one root; one is leaf and one is flower; relation, sympathy, stirring in every vein. And what is that Root? Is not that the soul of his soul?—A thought too bold,—a dream too wild.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
