Clay Court Season

Famous quotes containing the words clay, court and/or season:

    The earth is covered thick with other clay,
    Which her own clay shall cover, heaped and pent,
    Rider and horse,—friend, foe,—in one red
    burial blent!
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    World history is a court of judgment.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
