Spruce Mountain

Famous quotes containing the words spruce and/or mountain:

“The most primitive places left with us are the swamps, where the spruce still grows shaggy with usnea.”

“I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy,
The sleepless soul that perished in his pride;
Of him who walked in glory and in joy
Following his plough, along the mountain side:
By our own spirits are we deified:
We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
