Famous quotes containing the words high, grass and/or circus:
“As I walked on the glacis I heard the sound of a bagpipe from the soldiers’ dwellings in the rock, and was further soothed and affected by the sight of a soldier’s cat walking up a cleated plank in a high loophole designed for mus-catry, as serene as Wisdom herself, and with a gracefully waving motion of her tail, as if her ways were ways of pleasantness and all her paths were peace.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“God, I can push the grass apart
And lay my finger on Thy heart.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey-cage.”
