Volcanic Haze

Famous quotes containing the words volcanic and/or haze:

    Pity the planet, all joy gone
    from this sweet volcanic cone;
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    But before the extremity of the Cape had completely sunk, it appeared like a filmy sliver of land lying flat on the ocean, and later still a mere reflection of a sand-bar on the haze above. Its name suggests a homely truth, but it would be more poetic if it described the impression which it makes on the beholder.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
