Famous quotes containing the words rank and/or structure:

    “Archbishop—A Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior to that attained by Christ.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “It is difficult even to choose the adjective
    For this blank cold, this sadness without cause.
    The great structure has become a minor house.
    No turban walks across the lessened floors.
    The greenhouse never so badly needed paint.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
