Fields

Famous quotes containing the word fields:

“Something told the wild geese
It was time to go.
Though the fields lay golden
Something whispered—”Snow.””

“Farewell green fields and happy groves,
Where flocks have took delight.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“It matters little comparatively whether the fields fill the farmer’s barn. The true husbandman will cease from anxiety, as the squirrels manifest no concern whether the woods will bear chestnuts this year or not, and finish his labor with every day, relinquishing all claim to the produce of his fields, and sacrificing in his mind not only his first but his last fruits also.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
