Famous quotes containing the words deck and/or height:
“The almost universal bareness and smoothness of the landscape were as agreeable as novel, making it so much more like the deck of a vessel.”

“The most stupendous scenery ceases to be sublime when it becomes distinct, or in other words limited, and the imagination is no longer encouraged to exaggerate it. The actual height and breadth of a mountain or a waterfall are always ridiculously small; they are the imagined only that content us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
