East Meadow Lane

Famous quotes containing the words east, meadow and/or lane:

    Sublime tobacco! which from east to west
    Cheers the tar’s labour or the Turkman’s rest.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    The idiot greens the meadow with his eyes,
    The meadow creeps implacable and still;
    A dog barks, the hammock swings, he lies.
    One two three the cows bulge on the hill.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. There is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. A table is a table, food is food, we are we—because we don’t question these things. And science is the enemy because it is the questioner. Faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.
    —Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
