Wagner Field

Famous quotes containing the words wagner and/or field:

    I have witnessed, and greatly enjoyed, the first act of everything which Wagner created, but the effect on me has always been so powerful that one act was quite sufficient; whenever I have witnessed two acts I have gone away physically exhausted; and whenever I have ventured an entire opera the result has been the next thing to suicide.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Something told the wild geese
    It was time to go.
    Though the fields lay golden
    Something whispered—”Snow.”
    —Rachel Lyman Field (1894–1942)
