High Relief

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or relief:

    So in majestic cadence rise and fall
    The mighty undulations of thy song,
    O sightless bard, England’s Monides!
    And ever and anon, high over all
    Uplifted, a ninth wave superb and strong,
    Floods all the soul with its melodious seas.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    Cows wandered through the streets.... Vegetables grew chiefly in cans, and stream-beds and caƱons glittered with these omnipresent signs of civilization.
    —Administration in the State of Colo, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
