Field Checks

Famous quotes containing the words field and/or checks:

    Yet, hermit and stoic as he was, he was really fond of sympathy, and threw himself heartily and childlike into the company of young people whom he loved, and whom he delighted to entertain, as he only could, with the varied and endless anecdotes of his experiences by field and river: and he was always ready to lead a huckleberry-party or a search for chestnuts and grapes.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Our checks are pale. Our wallets are invalids.
    Past due, past due, is what our bills are saying
    and yet we kiss in every corner, scuffing the dust
    and the cat. Love rises like bread as we go bust.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
