Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sails:
“A slight wind shakes the seed-pods
my thoughts are spent
as the black seeds.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“He bends to the order of the seasons, the weather, the soils and crops, as the sails of a ship bend to the wind. He represents continuous hard labor, year in, year out, and small gains. He is a slow person, timed to Nature, and not to city watches. He takes the pace of seasons, plants and chemistry. Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
