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)

    There beneath the Roman ruin where the purple flowers grow,
    Came that “Ave atque Vale” of the poet’s hopeless woe,
    Tenderest of Roman poets nineteen hundred years ago,
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
