Famous quotes containing the word hill:

    “headland beyond stormy headland plunging like dolphins through the
    gray sea-smoke
    Into pale sea, look west at the hill of water: it is half the
    planet: this dome, this half-globe, this bulging
    Eyeball of water,”
    —Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
