Greater Barons

Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or barons:

Ran on the green-sward: nothing she does or seems
But smacks of something greater than herself,
Too noble for this place.”

“We live by our imaginations, by our admirations, by our sentiments. The child walks amid heaps of illusions, which he does not like to have disturbed. The boy, how sweet to him his fancy! how dear the story of barons and battles! What a hero he is, whilst he feeds on his heroes! What a debt is his to imaginative books!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
