Fields

Famous quotes containing the word fields:

    O do not grieve
    for a torn earth
    barren fields burnt forests
    cracked riven volcano-broken
    hill-slopes islands shrunken
    mountains lost.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    It is not those who till the fields who eat fine rice, nor those who rear the silkworms who wear fine silks.
    Chinese proverb.

    Nature will not let us fret and fume. She does not like our benevolence or our learning much better than she likes our frauds and wars. When we come out of the caucus, or the bank, or the abolition-convention, or the temperance-meeting, or the transcendental club, into the fields and woods, she says to us, “so hot? my little Sir.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
