Mountain Republic

Famous quotes containing the words mountain and/or republic:

    We are wearied of our huts
    And the smoky smell of our garments.

    And the grass on the mountains.

    No republic is more real than that of letters, and I am the last in principles, as I am the least in pretensions to any dictatorship in it.
