Famous quotes containing the words alpine and/or world:

    “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)

    “O, I have passed a miserable night,
    So full of fearful dreams, of ugly sights,
    That, as I am a Christian faithful man,
    I would not spend another such a night
    Though ‘twere to buy a world of happy days,
    So full of dismal terror was the time.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
