High Druid

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or druid:

    If there be no nobility of descent in a nation, all the more indispensable is it that there should be nobility of ascent—a character in them that bear rule, so fine and high and pure, that as men come within the circle of its influence, they involuntarily pay homage to that which is the one pre-eminent distinction, the Royalty of Virtue.
    Henry Codman Potter (1835–1908)

    In yonder Grave a Druid lies
    Where slowly winds the Stealing Wave!
    The Year’s best Sweets shall duteous rise
    To deck its Poet’s sylvan Grave!
    William Collins (1721–1759)
