Famous quotes containing the words high and/or volume:
“Processions that lack high stilts have nothing that catches the eye.
What if my great-granddad had a pair that were twenty foot high,
And mine were but fifteen foot, no modern stalks upon higher,
Some rogue of the world stole them to patch up a fence or a fire.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“To be thoroughly conversant with a Man’s heart, is to take our final lesson in the iron-clasped volume of despair.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
