East Meadow

Famous quotes containing the words east and/or meadow:

“The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

“Maud Muller on a summer’s day
Raked the meadow sweet with hay.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
