Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or field:

    Pray but one prayer for me ‘twixt thy closed lips,
    Think but one thought of me up in the stars.
    William Morris (1834–1896)

    Give me the splendid silent sun
    with all his beams full-dazzling,
    Give me juicy autumnal fruit ripe and red from the orchard,
    Give me a field where the unmow’d grass grows,
    Give me an arbor, give me the trellis’d grape,
    Give me fresh corn and wheat, give me serene-moving animals teaching content,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
