Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or mountains:

    The extra worry began it—on the
    Blue blue mountain—she never set foot
    And then and there. Meanwhile the host
    Mourned her quiet tenure. They all stayed chatting.
    No one did much about eating.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Have We not made the earth as a cradle and the mountains as pegs? And We created you in pairs, and We appointed your sleep for a rest; and We appointed night for a garment, and We appointed day for a livelihood. And We have built above you seven strong ones, and We appointed a blazing lamp and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, and gardens luxuriant.
    —Qur’An. “The Tiding,” 78:6-16, trans. by Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
