Acute Mountain Sickness

Famous quotes containing the words acute, mountain and/or sickness:

    One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    The mountain throws a shadow,
    Thin is the moon’s horn;
    What did we remember
    Under the ragged thorn?
    Dread has followed longing,
    And our hearts are torn.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    To her, my lord,
    Was I betrothed ere I saw Hermia;
    But like a sickness did I loathe this food.
    But, as in health come to my natural taste,
    Now I do wish it, love it, long for it,
    And will for evermore be true to it.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
