Umm... LISP is elegant and expressive -- you can (and people routinely do) construct complicated environments including DSLs on top of it. But that doesn't make it high-level -- it only makes it a good base for high-level things.
But if you use "high-level" to mean "abstracted away from the hardware" then yes, it was, but that doesn't have much to do with "writing out your thoughts".
