White Pass Route

Famous quotes containing the words white, pass and/or route:

    To muse and brood and live again in memory,
    With those old faces of our infancy
    Heaped over with a mound of grass,
    Two handfuls of white dust, shut in an urn of brass!
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    I felt my cheek
    Alter, to see the shadow pass away,
    Whose grasp had left the giant world so weak
    That every pigmy kicked it as it lay;
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
