Fences

Famous quotes containing the word fences:

“The landscape was clothed in a mild and quiet light, in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it with new regularity, and rough and uneven fields stretched away with lawn-like smoothness to the horizon, and the clouds, finely distinct and picturesque, seemed a fit drapery to hang over fairyland. The world seemed decked for some holiday or prouder pageantry ... like a green lane into a country maze, at the season when fruit-trees are in blossom.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, “Good fences make good neighbors.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
