Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or sheaves:

    “O singers, resinous and soft your songs
    Above the sacred whisper of the pines,
    Give virgin lips to cornfield concubines,
    Bring dreams of Christ to dusky cane-lipped throngs.”
    —Jean Toomer (1894–1967)

    “A thousand golden sheaves were lying there,
    Shining and still, but not for long to stay—
    As if a thousand girls with golden hair
    Might rise from where they slept and go away.”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
