Famous quotes containing the words high and/or wheel:

    As I walked on the glacis I heard the sound of a bagpipe from the soldiers’ dwellings in the rock, and was further soothed and affected by the sight of a soldier’s cat walking up a cleated plank in a high loophole designed for mus-catry, as serene as Wisdom herself, and with a gracefully waving motion of her tail, as if her ways were ways of pleasantness and all her paths were peace.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Having a wheel and four legs of its own
    Has never availed the cumbersome grindstone
    To get it anywhere that I can see.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
