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. 15721631)
“There is a mountain in the distant West
That, sun-defying, in its deep ravines
Displays a cross of snow upon its side.
Such is the cross I wear upon my breast
These eighteen years, through all the changing scenes
And seasons, changeless since the day she died.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (18091882)
“But in the dome of mighty Mars the red,”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?1400)
