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 profaned on either part,
For though tis got by chance,tis kept by art.”
—John Donne (c. 15721631)
“And as it measured in her calipers,
The mountain stood exalted in its place.
So love will take between the hands a face. . . .”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“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 (18031882)
