Famous quotes containing the words cotton and/or crop:
“We are constituted a good deal like chickens, which, taken from the hen, and put in a basket of cotton in the chimney-corner, will often peep till they die, nevertheless; but if you put in a book, or anything heavy, which will press down the cotton, and feel like the hen, they go to sleep directly.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Her crop was a miscellany
When all was said and done,
A little bit of everything,
A great deal of none.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
