Sheaves

Famous quotes containing the word sheaves:

“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)

“Being young you have not known
The fool’s triumph, nor yet
Love lost as soon as won,
Nor the best labourer dead
And all the sheaves to bind.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
