Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or field:

    “On a flat road runs the well-trained runner,
    He is lean and sinewy with muscular legs,
    He is thinly clothed, he leans forward as he runs,
    With lightly closed fists and arms partially raised.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “She is as in a field a silken tent
    At midday when a sunny summer breeze
    Has dried the dew and all its ropes relent,”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
