We have not dollars; merchants have; let them give them. Farmers will give corn; poets will sing; women will sew; laborers will lend a hand; the children will bring flowers.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“The farmers crowd to the fair today in obedience to the same ancient law,... as naturally as bees swarm and follow their queen.”
