Famous quotes containing the words nest and/or height:

“Far from her nest the lapwing cries away;
My heart prays for him, though my tongue do curse.”

“The most stupendous scenery ceases to be sublime when it becomes distinct, or in other words limited, and the imagination is no longer encouraged to exaggerate it. The actual height and breadth of a mountain or a waterfall are always ridiculously small; they are the imagined only that content us.”
