High Lark

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or lark:

“Have you ever been up in your plane at night, alone, somewhere, 20,000 feet above the ocean?... Did you ever hear music up there?... It’s the music a man’s spirit sings to his heart, when the earth’s far away and there isn’t any more fear. It’s the high, fine, beautiful sound of an earth-bound creature who grew wings and flew up high and looked straight into the face of the future. And caught, just for an instant, the unbelievable vision of a free man in a free world.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

“The lark sitting upon his earthy bed, just as the morn
Appears, listens silent, then springing from the waving Corn-field,
loud
He leads the Choir of Day—”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
