Field

Famous quotes containing the word field:

    “Last night I watched my brothers play,
    The gentle and the reckless one,
    In a field two yards away.
    For half a century they were gone
    Beyond the other side of care
    To be among the peaceful dead.”
    —Edwin Muir (1887–1959)

    “The snow had begun in the gloaming,
    And busily all the night
    Had been heaping field and highway
    With a silence deep and white.”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    “But the old world was restored and we returned
    To the dreary field and workshop, and the immemorial feud

    Of rich and poor. Our victory was our defeat.”
    —Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
