White Hats

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or hats:

    Flower sent to flower;
    for white hands, the lesser white,
    less lovely of flower leaf.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Farmers in overalls and wide-brimmed straw hats lounge about the store on hot summer days, when the most common sound is the thump-thump-thump of a hound’s leg on the floor as he scratches contentedly. Oldtime hunters say that fleas are a hound’s salvation: his constant twisting and clawing in pursuit of the tormentors keeps his joints supple.
    —Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
