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 profaned on either part,
    For though ‘tis got by chance,’tis kept by art.”
    —John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    “The mountain and the squirrel
    Had a quarrel,
    And the former called the latter “Little Prig”;”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A starlit or a moonlit dome disdains
    All that man is,
    All mere complexities,
    The fury and the mire of human veins.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
