Famous quotes containing the word hill:

    I got my first clear view of Ktaadn, on this excursion, from a hill about two miles northwest of Bangor, whither I went for this purpose. After this I was ready to return to Massachusetts.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    What was dancing to you then?
    We went from the high gate away
    To a black hill the other side of men
    Where one wild stag stared
    At the going day.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Oh, let’s go up the hill and scare ourselves,
    As reckless as the best of them tonight,
    By setting fire to all the brush we piled
    With pitchy hands to wait for rain or snow....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
