Smoky Hill Trail

Famous quotes containing the words smoky, hill and/or trail:

    In vain thou kindlest all thy smoky fire,
    For virtue hath this better lesson taught,
    Within myself to seek my only hire,
    Desiring nought but how to kill desire.
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    O happy, happy each
    man whom predestined fate
    leads to the holy rite
    of hill and mountain worship.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Most of us don’t have mothers who blazed a trail for us—at least, not all the way. Coming of age before or during the inception of the women’s movement, whether as working parents or homemakers, whether married or divorced, our mothers faced conundrums—what should they be? how should they act?—that became our uncertainties.
    Anne Roiphe (20th century)
