Famous quotes containing the words camp and/or mirage:
“Men consort in camp and town
But the poet dwells alone.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Go out of the house to see the moon, and ‘t is mere tinsel; it will not please as when its light shines upon your necessary journey. The beauty that shimmers in the yellow afternoons of October, who could ever clutch it? Go forth to find it, and it is gone: ‘t is only a mirage as you look from the windows of diligence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
