Local Fields

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or fields:

    The local is a shabby thing. There’s nothing worse than bringing us back down to our own little corner, our own territory, the radiant promiscuity of the face to face. A culture which has taken the risk of the universal, must perish by the universal.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    The foolish fears of what might happen.
    I cast them all away
    Among the clover-scented grass,
    Among the new-mown hay,
    Among the husking of the corn,
    Where drowsy poppies nod
    Where ill thoughts die and good are born—
    Out in the fields with God.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
