Treasure Mountain Dome

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

    And who, in time, knows whither we may vent
    The treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores
    This gain of our best glory shall be sent,
    T’enrich unknowing nations with our stores?
    What worlds in th’yet unformed Occident
    May come refined with th’accents that are ours?
    Samuel Daniel (c.1562–1619)

    ‘Tis distance lends enchantment to the view,
    And robes the mountain in its azure hue.
    Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)

    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)
