Leading High

Famous quotes containing the words leading and/or high:

    It is sometimes called the City of Magnificent Distances, but it might with greater propriety be termed the City of Magnificent Intentions.... Spacious avenues, that begin in nothing, and lead nowhere; streets, mile-long, that only want houses, roads, and inhabitants; public buildings that need but a public to be complete; and ornaments of great thoroughfares, which only lack great thoroughfares to ornament—are its leading features.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    A ward, and still in bonds, one day
    I stole abroad;
    It was high spring, and all the way
    Primrosed and hung with shade;
    Yet was it frost within,
    And surly winds
    Blasted my infant buds, and sin
    Like clouds eclipsed my mind.
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
