Ground Mung Beans

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or beans:

    The thing that made me more and more afraid
    Was that we’d ground it sharp and hadn’t known,
    And now were only wasting precious blade.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    When my hoe tinkled against the stones, that music echoed to the woods and the sky, and was an accompaniment to my labor which yielded an instant and immeasurable crop. It was no longer beans that I hoed, nor I that hoed beans; and I remembered with as much pity as pride, if I remembered at all, my acquaintances who had gone to the city to attend the oratorios.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
