White Farmers

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or farmers:

    It was at the time, the place, of nougats.
    There the dogwoods, the white ones and the pink ones,
    Bloomed in sheets, as they bloom, and the girl,
    A pink girl took a white dog walking.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    They’re semiotic phantoms, bits of deep cultural imagery that have split off and taken on a life of their own, like those Jules Verne airships that those old Kansas farmers were always seeing.... Semiotic ghosts. Fragments of the Mass Dream, whirling past in the wind of my passage.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)
