Famous quotes containing the words growing and/or crop:
“Heaven lies about us in our infancy!
Shades of the prison-house begin to close
Upon the growing boy.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“And, by the way, who estimates the value of the crop which nature yields in the still wilder fields unimproved by man? The crop of English hay is carefully weighed, the moisture calculated, the silicates and the potash; but in all dells and pond-holes in the woods and pastures and swamps grows a rich and various crop only unreaped by man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
