Wert High School

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

    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 evil things, in robes of sorrow,
    Assailed the monarch’s high estate;
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.
    Henry David David (1817–1862)
