Wheat Kings

Famous quotes containing the words wheat and/or kings:

“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)

“Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, able to discern between good and evil; for who can govern this your great people?”
