Famous quotes containing the word climbing:

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth,”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

a dream within a dream,
then sitting here
holding a basket of fire.”
