High Reynolds Numbers

Famous quotes containing the words high, reynolds and/or numbers:

    “Processions that lack high stilts have nothing that catches the eye.
    What if my great-granddad had a pair that were twenty foot high,
    And mine were but fifteen foot, no modern stalks upon higher,
    Some rogue of the world stole them to patch up a fence or a fire.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    In Lethe to be drowned,
    Then only numbers sweet
    With endless life are crowned.”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
