Summary

This quote highlights that opinions are often formed by influential or powerful individuals ("high places"), but they eventually trickle down to the general population ("lower ones") and become widely prevalent ("flow down to the people as rain unto the sea").

It implies that public opinion is shaped by both powerful individuals and the collective mindset of the people.
