Famous quotes containing the words cypress and/or mountain:
“It was a green world,
Unchanging holly with the curled
Points, cypress and conifers,
All that through the winter bears
Coarsened fertility against the frost.”

But the valley sheep are fatter;
We therefore deemed it meeter
To carry off the latter.”
