East Lake High

Famous quotes containing the words east, lake and/or high:

    A puff of wind, a puff faint and tepid and laden with strange odours of blossoms, of aromatic wood, comes out the still night—the first sigh of the East on my face. That I can never forget. It was impalpable and enslaving, like a charm, like a whispered promise of mysterious delight.... The mysterious East faced me, perfumed like a flower, silent like death, dark like a grave.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    Lenin on a bench beside a lake disturbed
    The swans. He was not the man for swans.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    And since our Daintie age,
    Cannot indure reproofe,
    Make not thy selfe a Page,
    To that strumpet the Stage,
    But sing high and aloofe,
    Safe from the wolves black jaw, and the dull Asses hoofe.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
