Famous quotes containing the words cloud and/or mountain:
“The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.

No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead
There were no birds to fly.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“The most stupendous scenery ceases to be sublime when it becomes distinct, or in other words limited, and the imagination is no longer encouraged to exaggerate it. The actual height and breadth of a mountain or a waterfall are always ridiculously small; they are the imagined only that content us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
