Famous quotes containing the words holy and/or mountain:

    “It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
    The holy time is quiet as a Nun
    Breathless with adoration;”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “The mountain stood there to be pointed at.
    Pasture ran up the side a little way,
    And then there was a wall of trees with trunks;
    After that only tops of trees, and cliffs
    Imperfectly concealed among the leaves.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
