Famous quotes containing the words oak and/or mountain:

    “Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Give me the islands of the upper air,
    all mountains
    and the towering mountain trees.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
