Local Fields

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or fields:

    These native villages are as unchanging as the woman in one of their stories. When she was called before a local justice he asked her age. “I have 45 years.” “But,” said the justice, “you were forty-five when you appeared before me two years ago.” “SeƱor Judge,” she replied proudly, drawing herself to her full height, “I am not of those who are one thing today and another tomorrow!”
    State of New Mexico, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    The world’s great day is growing late,
    Yet strange these fields that we have planted
    So long with crops of love and hate.
    Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
