High Earth

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or earth:

“To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but mediately to the understanding or reason?”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“Let us be unashamed of soul,
As earth lies bare to heaven above!
How is it under our control
To love or not to love?”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
