Cataract/history

Famous quotes containing the words cataract and/or history:

“The splendor falls on castle walls
And snowy summits old in story;
The long light shakes across the lakes,
And the wild cataract leaps in glory.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
