High Flight

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or flight:

    They talk about their Pilgrim blood,
    Their birthright high and holy!
    A mountain-stream that ends in mud
    Methinks is melancholy.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    When we are high and airy hundreds say
    That if we hold that flight they’ll leave the place,
    While those same hundreds mock another day
    Because we have made our art of common things ...
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
