Fields

Famous quotes containing the word fields:

    The sun was like a great visiting presence that stimulated and took its due from all animal energy. When it flung wide its cloak and stepped down over the edge of the fields at evening, it left behind it a spent and exhausted world.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    Smart lad, to slip betimes away
    From fields where glory does not stay,
    And early though the laurel grows
    It withers quicker than the rose.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    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)
