Famous quotes containing the words harvest and/or wreath:
“For I have had too much
Of apple-picking: I am overtired
Of the great harvest I myself desired.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“But seldom the laurel wreath is seen
Unmixed with pensive pansies dark;
There’s a light and a shadow on every man
Who at last attains his lifted mark—
Nursing through night the ethereal spark.
Elate he never can be;
He feels that spirits which glad had hailed his worth,
Sleep in oblivion.—The shark
Glides white through the phosphorus sea.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
