Fields

Famous quotes containing the word fields:

“Over the tree-tops I float thee a song,
Over the rising and sinking waves, over the myriad fields and the
prairies wide,
Over the dense-packed cities all and the teeming wharves and ways,
I float this carol with joy, with joy to thee, O death,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Mantled in grey, the dusk steals slowly in,
Crossing the dead, dull fields with footsteps cold.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
