Famous quotes containing the words pitch and/or bend:
“I dream that I have brought
To such a pitch my thought

He shadowed in a glass
What thing her body was.”

“He bends to the order of the seasons, the weather, the soils and crops, as the sails of a ship bend to the wind. He represents continuous hard labor, year in, year out, and small gains. He is a slow person, timed to Nature, and not to city watches. He takes the pace of seasons, plants and chemistry. Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
