Van Wert High

Famous quotes containing the words van, wert and/or high:

    On the farm I had learned how to meet realities without suffering either mentally or physically. My initiative had never been blunted. I had freedom to succeed—freedom to fail. Life on the farm produces a kind of toughness.
    —Bertha Van Hoosen (1863–1952)

    O wert thou in the cauld blast,
    On yonder lea, on yonder lea,
    My plaidie to the angry airt,
    I’d shelter thee, I’d shelter thee.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    But let my due feet never fail
    To walk the studious cloister’s pale,
    And love the high embowed roof,
    With antic pillars massy proof,
    And storied windows richly dight,
    Casting a dim, religious light.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
