Famous quotes containing the words brook and/or farmers:
“A leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had spared
Beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared.
The mower in the dew had loved them thus,
By leaving them to flourish, not for us,
Nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
But from sheer morning gladness at the brim.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Our farmers round, well pleased with constant gain,
Like other farmers, flourish and complain.”
—George Crabbe (1754–1832)
