Lowest Distance

Famous quotes containing the words lowest and/or distance:

“You would play upon me, you would seem to know my stops, you
would pluck out the heart of my mystery, you would sound me
from my lowest note to the top of my compass; and there is
much music, excellent voice, in this little organ.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“A solitary traveler whom we saw perambulating in the distance loomed like a giant. He appeared to walk slouchingly, as if held up from above by straps under his shoulders, as much as supported by the plain below. Men and boys would have appeared alike at a little distance, there being no object by which to measure them. Indeed, to an inlander, the Cape landscape is a constant mirage.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
