White Field

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or field:

“And when you sigh from kiss to kiss
I hear white Beauty sighing, too,
For hours when all must fade like dew....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Mine was, as it were, the connecting link between wild and cultivated fields; as some states are civilized, and others half-civilized, and others savage or barbarous, so my field was, though not in a bad sense, a half-cultivated field. They were beans cheerfully returning to their wild and primitive state that I cultivated, and my hoe played the Ranz des Vaches for them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
