Fields

Famous quotes containing the word fields:

    Or seen the furrows shine but late upturned,
    And where the fieldfare followed in the rear,
    When all the fields around lay bound and hoar
    Beneath a thick integument of snow.
    So by God’s cheap economy made rich
    To go upon my winter’s task again.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    And sweet it was to dream of Fatherland,
    Of child, and wife, and slave; but evermore
    Most weary seemed the sea, weary the oar,
    Weary the wandering fields of barren foam.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    If at first you don’t succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.
    —W.C. Fields (1879–1946)
