Corn/art

Famous quotes containing the words corn and/or art:

“The hill farmer ... always seems to make out somehow with his corn patch, his few vegetables, his rifle, and fishing rod. This self-contained economy creates in the hillman a comparative disinterest in the world’s affairs, along with a disdain of lowland ways. “I don’t go to question the good Lord in his wisdom,” runs the phrasing attributed to a typical mountaineer, “but I jest cain’t see why He put valleys in between the hills.””
—Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

“And, chiding me, said, ‘Hence, remove,
Herrick, thou art too coarse to love.’”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
