Fallow Years

Famous quotes containing the words fallow and/or years:

    Your brother and his lover have embraced.
    As those that feed grow full, as blossoming time
    That from the seedness the bare fallow brings
    To teeming foison, even so her plenteous womb
    Expresseth his full tilth and husbandry.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The years like great black oxen tread the world,
    And God the herdsman treads them on behind,
    And I am broken by their passing feet.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
