Row Crop

Famous quotes containing the words row and/or crop:

    One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.
    Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)

    I, Alphonso, live and learn,
    Seeing Nature go astern.
    Things deteriorate in kind;
    Lemons run to leaves and rind;
    Meagre crop of figs and limes;
    Shorter days and harder times.
    Flowering April cools and dies
    In the insufficient skies.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
