Famous quotes containing the words mountain and/or moon:

    “Bald as the bare mountain tops are bald, with a baldness full of grandeur.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “Though it seems improbable on the face of it
    You must master the huge retards and have faith in the slow
    Blossoming of haystacks, stairways, walls of convolvulus,
    Until the moon can do no more. Exhausted,
    You get out of bed. Your project is completed
    Though the experiment is a mess.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
