White Field

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or field:

    “Child, the current of your breath is six days long.

    at my breast. Your lips are animals; you are fed
    with love.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The birds their quire apply; airs, vernal airs,
    Breathing the smell of field and grove, attune
    The trembling leaves, while universal Pan,
    Knit with the Graces and the Hours in dance,
    Led on th’ eternal Spring.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
