Quotations for tops

The stars are forth, the moon above the tops
Of the snow-shining mountains - Beautiful!
I linger yet with nature, for the night
Hath been to me a more familiar face
Than that of man; and in her starry shade
Of dim and solitary loveliness,
I learned the language of another world. [ Byron ]

Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain-tops. [ William Shakespeare ]

Lo, here the gentle lark, weary of rest.
From his moist cabinet mounts up on high.
And wakes the morning, from whose silver breast
The sun ariseth in his majesty;
Who doth the world so gloriously behold,
That cedar-tops and hills seem burnish'd gold. [ William Shakespeare ]

All the tree-tops lay asleep, like green waves on the sea. [ Shelley ]

The slippery tops of human state, the gilded pinnacles of fate. [ Cowley ]

The fir-trees dark and high; I used to think their slender tops were close against the sky. [ Hood ]
