Alpine Meadow

Famous quotes containing the words alpine and/or meadow:

    “The shades of night were falling fast,
    As through an Alpine village passed
    A youth, who bore, ‘mid snow and ice,
    A banner with the strange device,
    Excelsior!”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “The idiot greens the meadow with his eyes,
    The meadow creeps implacable and still;
    A dog barks, the hammock swings, he lies.
    One two three the cows bulge on the hill.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
