Vowel Height

Famous quotes containing the words vowel and/or height:

“Brute animals have the vowel sounds; man only can utter consonants.”

“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.”
