    “For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield; but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the wild animals may eat. You shall do the same with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 23:10,11.

    “The land may vary more;
    But wherever the truth may be—
    The water comes ashore,
    And the people look at the sea.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The land of faery
    Where nobody gets old and godly and grave,
    Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise,
    Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
