Upper Mud

Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or mud:

“Give me the islands of the upper air,
all mountains
and the towering mountain trees.”

“To-night, His frost will fasten on this mud and us,
Shriveling many hands, puckering foreheads crisp.
The burying-party, picks and shovels in their shaking grasp,
Pause over half-known faces. All their eyes are ice,
But nothing happens.”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
