Famous quotes containing the words hill and/or gate:

    ““Oh, let’s go up the hill and scare ourselves,
    As reckless as the best of them tonight,
    By setting fire to all the brush we piled
    With pitchy hands to wait for rain or snow....””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Leave now
    The shut gate and the decomposing wall:
    The gentle serpent, green in the mulberry bush,
    Riots with his tongue through the hush
    Sentinel of the grave who counts us all!”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
