High Rank

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or rank:

“A ward, and still in bonds, one day
I stole abroad;
It was high spring, and all the way
Primrosed and hung with shade;
Yet was it frost within,
And surly winds
Blasted my infant buds, and sin
Like clouds eclipsed my mind.”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

“... his rank penetrated them as though it had been an odour.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
