Wheat Field

Famous quotes containing the words wheat and/or field:

    “The rich earth, of its own self made rich,
    Fertile of its own leaves and days and wars,
    Of its brown wheat rapturous in the wind,
    The nature of its women in the air,
    The stern voices of its necessitous men,
    This chorus as of those that wanted to live.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “I see a girl dragged by the wrists
    Across a dazzling field of snow,
    And there is nothing in me that resists.
    Once it would not be so....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
